Advent Service Project – Giving Tree

Immigrant and Refugee “Get Ready For Winter” Collection

As we celebrate the season of Advent, we prepare our hearts and homes for the coming of Jesus. We are mindful of the journey Mary and Joseph made to Bethlehem. They were travelers without a place to stay.

We will be collecting winter clothing items to decorate our Advent Giving Tree in the School Cafeteria throughout the month of December as part of our school-wide Advent Service Project.

So many of our immigrant and refugee families have never experienced winter weather in St. Louis and are not prepared with the clothing and things they need to stay warm. So, we will be collecting mittens/gloves, hats, socks, and scarves. They can be new or any gently used items you may have. All items are welcome, but children’s items are especially welcome.

Please drop off your winter donation items to the school office or send into the classroom with your student(s). The items will be placed on our Advent Giving Tree. Deadline for donations is Friday, December 19.
