Each holiday season, St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) receives many requests for help making the holidays brighter from local families in need.  Last year, through the generosity and thoughtfulness of the community, SVDP helped make Christmas wishes come true for over 1,000 families through its various holiday programs.

Christmas Together is our family sponsorship program. Through this program, we match generous sponsors with families in need, according to the sponsor’s family size preference. Sponsors then receive the family’s Christmas wish list and purchase gifts for the family. Sponsors have the option of delivering gifts directly to the family or dropping the gifts at St. Vincent de Paul for the family to pick up. You can expect to spend $100-$150 per person in the family.  Gift drop off will take place on December 18. 

Angel Toy is our toy shop program. We transform our Outreach Center into a “toy shop,” full of donated toys of all sorts.  Parents visit the Outreach Center, select toys they know their children would like and volunteers wrap the gifts.  You can support Angel Toy by donating new, unwrapped toys ($15-$20 each) for us to add to the toy shop. This event is scheduled for 12/4/2021 and 12/11/2021.  

In addition to our Christmas programs, we need help with other events during the holiday season. Please let us know if you are interested in helping out through one of these other opportunities: 

Thanks for your interest in supporting St. Vincent de Paul! We will contact you soon to provide additional details and next steps.
