Caring and Sharing
December 4th, 2020
St. Elizabeth Ann Seton's annual Christmas Caring and Sharing event for 100 Registered Food Pantry guests will take place on Friday, December 4th, 2020. Due to Covid-19, this year’s event will not involve a gathering of our guests. Instead, our Christmas elves/angels will prepare our fresh food packages, food boxes, and Christmas gift items ahead of time for each family. Guests will receive specific times to come to church on the 4th and will receive their items in a “drive-thru” fashion. This way we can spread the joy of Christmas without spreading any illnesses.
SEAS and guests appreciate the generosity of everyone in donating the food and the gifts that are provided. You truly bring the love and happiness of Christmas to these families in need. Thank you and God bless.
At this time we are accepting donations of winter
As always, since they are Christmas gifts, they should be in new or like-new condition.
