Advent Giving Tree to support Caring Closets of FDL area schools

Help us stock the Care Closets of Fond du Lac area schools this Christmas season with our Advent Giving Tree! Care Closets provide students in need clothing, school supplies, and hygiene items, so they do not have to go without and feel different than their peers.

Last year, through conversations with Fond du Lac area schools we learned of their Care Closet initiative, and the great need it fills for local students.

The Care Closets provide students in need clothing, school supplies, and hygiene items, so they do not have to go without and feel different than their peers. The mission of our Human Concerns Ministry has always been to care for the most vulnerable in our community. Through partnering with Fond du Lac area schools again this Advent, we can help to ensure that that students have warm pants to go out on the playground; markers and crayons for their classes; and the hygiene items to keep themselves clean and healthy.

Beginning the weekend of November 22-23, you will find our Advent Giving Trees at our churches, stocked with tags for the items most needed by the Care Closet. The trees will also again have dollar tags, which will be used by Holy Family Youth Group students to purchase gifts for the Fondy Closet which benefits their peers at Fond du Lac High School. All items must be returned to the churches by Sunday, December 7.

Homebound and unable to pick up a tag for the Giving Tree? Contact the Holy Family Parish Office at (920) 921-0580 and have a staff member pick a tag for you. You then can order the gift online and have it sent directly to Holy Family.
