Wow! What an amazing community we have here at OLG! Thank you to all who gave so generously this Christmas season to make the holidays brighter for our neighbors in need. Together, we helped provide gifts for 10 children at Sanislo Elementary School as well as two $25 Target cards for each of the 63 children at Catholic Housing Services’ Santa Teresita apartments ($3150 total). We collected 10 board games to entertain seafarers while living aboard shipping vessels and also contributed $185 to the bulk purchase of SIM cards so they can call their loved ones over the holidays. In addition, our Knights of Columbus provided 25 winter coats for local families and our St. Vincent de Paul/Parish helped 21 families (98 individuals) get Christmas gifts for their children. And that’s not all…You provided 36 “Shoeboxes of Joy” to Catholic Community Services’ Volunteer Services for seniors and homebound neighbors and earned us $92 through our Pura Vida Fair Trade Coffee Fundraiser. Finally, we have over $300 coming back in rebates from our Fair Trade Sale! All of us working together and contributing what we can adds up to so much more. Thank you for helping to bring God’s love and care to our community in such tangible ways. Merry Christmas!
