Harbor Interfaith Christmas Food and Toy Drive

Harbor Interfaith Christmas Food and Toy Drive

Harbor Interfaith Services, Inc. (HIS) now plans to deliver over 350 complete holiday meals for Christmas. Donations from St. Francis can help to make the Christmas season brighter for families served by HIS. They ask specifically for Spiral hams, canned vegetables, mashed potatoes, stuffing or dressing mix, canned yams or sweet potatoes, cake mixes/frosting and/or grocery gift cards.

Additionally, if anyone wants to donate toys for the children, they can be geared towards any age from 1 month to 18 years old. Many teens are often overlooked during the holidays. If you would like to contribute a gift certificate/card to stores, movie theaters, juice, or yogurt stores in the area, that can help a teen know they are not forgotten.

You should bring donations to church on Sundays or to the church office during office hours through Sunday, December 17 for delivery to HIS early on December 18. The food/presents will be distributed to the families on December 20.

Thank you, in advance, for your donations, and thank you for your donations for the Thanksgiving program. HIS was very appreciative of all the items donated!
