We at St. Anne’s Parish are going to have to do the baskets differently this year! In trying to find the safest way to help our friends & neighbors this Christmas. Along with First Parish and others in our community we are able to assist those in need this Christmas. 

Last year, we helped approximately 110 families and 130 children. I am in the middle of signing up the recipients at the food pantry. We will have an exact count just before mid-November.

Food (now using Hannaford Gift Cards):
If in the past you have generously donated food; this year, we are asking that you purchase

Hannaford Gift Cards in increments of $25 instead of purchasing food. We will not be giving out food. We are hoping that each family will receive a minimum of $25 for groceries. A parishioner is purchasing separate gift cards for all the turkeys.

Toys/Clothing (now using Walmart/Target Gift Cards):
If you have generously donated toys or clothing either by taking a tag or unwrapped toys for the parents to choose from, we are asking that you buy a Walmart or Target gift card for $25. All children from birth to 18 (still in school) will be given a gift card. We will be distributing the Christmas Baskets on Dec. 12th, so the parents themselves will be able to shop for the children.
Parents can pick-up gift cards at St. Anne’s as drive-up only, on Saturday, Dec. 12th from 1pm to 3 pm.

All cards should be marked with the amount purchased and placed in the collection box at
St. Anne’s Church.  St. Anne’s office is open on Wednesdays & Thursdays- 9am – 2pm.  If you are not comfortable going to the church or the stores, please feel free to call me and I will meet you somewhere to pick-up the gift cards or cash.  Donations can also be made online by clicking here.

Checks can be made out to St. Anne’s Church, (please note “Christmas Baskets” on check).   Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Thank you & God Bless You!
