St. Paul Giving Tree is an Advent tradition spreading Christmas cheer from our parish to hundreds of people through several local organizations.
This year’s Giving Tree program begins this weekend, November 16-17, with two boards set up in the St. Paul Sanctuary with gift tag requests. (Once the Christmas trees are put up after Thanksgiving, the tags will be transferred to the trees.)
Several of the organizations we are supporting have also provided Amazon Wish Lists to make giving easier – simply scan the QR codes on the posters in the church (or click the links on our Giving Tree page), select the items you would like to gift, and they will be shipped directly to the organizational representative.
To Participate via the Gifts Tags:
- Choose a tag or tags from the board/tree
- Fill out each tag with your name and phone number
- LEAVE the small detachable portion of the tag in the box near the board or tree.
- KEEP the remaining portion of the tag to attach to the gift so it can be sorted and distributed to the correct location and person.
- SHOP for your selected item(s).
- WRAP and ATTACH the tag securely to the gift.
- RETURN the gift(s) to St. Paul Church by Sunday, December 8.
To Participate Online via Amazon Wish Lists:
- Scan the QR code (or click the links on our Giving Tree page) for the organization you would like to support to access their Giving Tree Wish List.
- Select the Wish List item(s) you would like to purchase.
- During Checkout you will be prompted to “Select a shipping address” – be sure to select the address marked “Gift Registry Address”. The items will be shipped directly to the organizational representative.
- Wish List gifts can be ordered from Amazon through Sunday, December 22.
