Christmas Giving Tree 2025
As we did for Thanksgiving, we will be offering our families a Meijer gift card to purchase food and gifts for their families this Christmas Season. We have been giving gift cards the past couple years and it has been very well received by the families we assisted. This process gives each family the freedom to buy what they want and need according to their individual preferences.
Any donation is appreciated!
With the money that is collected, Christian Service will purchase the gift cards needed, and then distribute them to our families most in need in our local community.
To donate, please click on the button below or stop by theparish office to make your donation. Checks are payable to St. Blase Parish.
