2020's Special Giving Tree:
Giving Hope and Joy to Those in Need

Since Covid-19 is preventing us from running our "normal" Giving Tree gift collection, this year our goal is to raise funds to provide gift cards to our community in addition to basic winter necessities. 

The easiest way to help is to donate gift cards (preferably Visa, American Express, or Walmart) in denominations of $25, $50, or $100, or to make a financial donation so we can purchase the cards. 

To make a financial donation, please click here.

We also will use all donations on Giving Tuesday toward our Giving Tree program.

Thank you for your support and remember, even the smallest gift can make a big difference.

Donations of new and gently used toys are welcome for our toy distribution.

Prior to 12/14/20, new toys are being collected by Meghan Calichman and Church of the Little Flower. Please contact Meghan via email at mcalichman@comcast.net or via phone at: 201-874-4440. After 12/14/20, please deliver new toys directly to St. Joseph's.

Some guidelines...
We encourage toys and games that promote good values:  educational toys, games that teach peace, respect for the earth and all people.  We prefer baby dolls to Barbie dolls. Please,  NO war toys or games that glorify violence. We want to give our children positive messages about themselves, other people, and all of God's creation.
