Intergenerational Service Project: Holiday Care Packages for Interfaith Prison Partnership

who will not be free to go home over the winter holidays. For every $17 donated, IPP will purchase and deliver items for one care package. These gifts are a meaningful way to show incarcerated women that they are not forgotten on the outside. It is especially impactful for women who will not have visitors or receive any other presents. On Sunday, October 18, 10:15–11:00am, all ages will gather in the Parish Hall to assemble Holiday Care Packages. Please Donate! The Outreach Committee set a goal of fundraising at least $680 for 40 Holiday Care Packages. Please consider donating any amount to this service project. Donate online at stannholytrinity.org/donate. Select Service Project for the fund. Donate in-person on Sundays with cash or check.
