The 43rd Annual St. Hilary Christmas Giving Tree will begin the weekend of November 23 & 24. The trees will be in place in the Gathering Area and in the back of the church.

There will be many tags for children, teens, young adults and seniors. We work with 22 agencies and innner city schools that are aware of the families’ situation.

Please wrap your gifts and tape the tag SECURELY on your gift…this is the only way we know where the gift will go. This is extremely important! If you have more than one gift for one tag, please place the gifts in a bag (like a kitchen trash bag). Do not tie together as they often get separated. You can also write the number of the tag on each of your boxes.

Please also wrap all GIFT CARDS in a box. You can tape the gift card on top of a box of candy or cookies, and wrap it with your tag on top of the box. Please write the amount of your gift card on the card so your senior knows how much they can spend.

When you take your tag from the tree, please take a picture of it or keep track of agency or schjool thats on the right hand corner of the tag. If you lose your tag, you will know the section your child is in. Each year we have lost tags and it’s hard to know what child you are trying to help.

Please have all gifts back under the trees by NOON ON DECEMBER 15. The schools begin picking up at 5 p.m.

If you have questions, or you do lose your tag, please call Betty at 330-475-9587.

We truly thank you for all your help with making this year’s Giving Tree a sucess! We are here to help so many children, families, and seniors that are living in poverty. We are always grateful for your help!
