One of the most popular of our outreach projects is the Giving Tree, which commits to providing Christmas gifts for local children who would otherwise do without. As in years past, Linda Hunt has collected names from local schools of children whose families are in difficulty. She will hand out these names on November 20th, along with specifications to help with present selection. All gifts are to be brought to the Parish House on Sunday, December 18th; distribution to the parents will be on Tuesday, December 20th.

8th Annual Stockings for Soldiers
Crouch Funeral Home and the North East community have generously supported a Stocking for Soldiers Campaign for the past eight years. Last year they were able to ship 1,171 stockings to 8 units oversees, and to the veterans at Perry Point VA Hospital. They make an effort to send stockings to local soldiers and their units. Crouch Funeral Home supplies the stockings and the postage to mail the boxes. They ask for you to fill the stockings with items such as, hard candy, gum, multi-vitamins, eye drops, sunblock, cards, etc. Pick-up a copy of detailed instructions and gift suggestions on Sunday. The deadline for filled stockings is December 5th.
