The Giving Tree program is run by a committee and provides gifts for the needy of the parish and Lorain County at Christmas time. The core committee meets from August through December as needed. Volunteers are needed for registration three to four weeks prior to Christmas.

The Giving Tree project members are working to continue our annual Christmas tradition.  An information table will be in the gathering area after all masses.  In order to make this Giving Tree Project a safe event, the project volunteers kindly request that you do the following:

• Maintain Social Distancing
• Wear a mask when approaching the information table
• Use hand sanitizer often

The information table volunteers will distribute and collect family registration forms.  Additionally, the family form is available for download here: Family Form
 

• There will be no presents brought into the church this year
• We are asking for donations in the form of cash, check, gift card, or electronic donation
• Donations may be dropped in the collection basket at Mass, at the rectory, or given to a Giving Tree representative
• When you participate, you will be offered a paper ornament to decorate our tree.  Be assured that for safety, the ornament will be discarded after this project

We are all so grateful to be a part of such a charitable community at St. Jude Parish.

Bless you all,
Giving Tree Project
