Charity Committee Request for Help *UPDATED*

Dec 16, 2002 UPDATE: 12-17-2002 We will NOT be transferring the gifts from the St. Vincent DePaul storage site on Friday, December 20th. The food will be transferred from the food pantry on that date to Providence Hall. We will pickup the food from Providence Hall on Sunday morning December 22nd and go to the storage site on Draper Avenue to pickup the gifts and proceed to the home of the recipients. Please excuse the error.


It is time to signup for the Christmas Basket Drive. This drive is different than our Thanksgiving effort, since in addition to donating food, we are also asking you to provide gifts for the families who are in need of our help. It is suggested that you donate one toy per child, one of two small gifts per adult, or one large gift for the household. Your food gift can be similar to the basket given at Thanksgiving or you can donate miscellaneous canned or dry food to add to food collected at St. Leo’s, the Christmas Tree Trailer and from the St. Vincent DePaul Society’s food pantry.

Please contact Greg Skorupski on (703) 978-8280 or e-mail at gjsburke1@aol.com for further details. If needed, he can provide details regarding family size and ages of children on Sunday, December 15th.

On Friday, December 20th we will be transferring the gifts from the SVDP storage space on Draper Drive and food from the pantry to Providence Hall. This project will start not later than 4:00 PM to allow our brother Knights to attend the Father Diamond Council Christmas party later that day.

On Saturday, December 21st we will be assembling the food and gifts. This is a very labor-intensive job and many hands are needed to help make the task easier. Delivery of the baskets will take place on Sunday, December 22nd starting a 10:00 AM. If you can spare a couple of hours from your busy Christmas schedule to assemble the baskets or make the deliveries please contact Greg at the above phone or e-mail address.
