Dear St. Anne Parish Family,
We invite you to help us share the joy of Christ’s birth by sponsoring one of 40 families from our St. Anne Friends of the Needy Food Bank.
Each sponsor will be matched with a client family and receive their Christmas Wish Form by email. Every child receives one gift valued up to $40. Families will list clothing sizes and one toy or gift idea, but sponsors are not required to purchase everything listed, these details simply give options to choose from.
You’re also welcome, but not required, to include a small grocery gift card for the parents. Sponsors are encouraged to include a Christmas card, handwritten letter, or drawings from their children, as a way of sharing the true joy of the season, to remind each family that they are loved, seen, and cherished by Jesus and His Church.
Our food bank will also provide each family with a turkey or ham and a large fresh food box during Christmas week.
How it works:
1. Choose a sponsor slot on our SignUpGenius (each slot = one family). 2. Once client forms are completed, we’ll email you your assigned family’s Wish Form.
3. Purchase gifts and return them by Friday, December 13th, unwrapped, in a labeled bag with your Family Number (this will be on top right corner of form).
Drop-off details:
Deadline: December 13th
Drop off: 14 N. Cottonwood Dr., Gilbert, AZ 85234 (rear of the building off Washington St.)
Hours: Monday–Saturday, 9:00 AM–12:00 PM
Thank you for helping us live out the Gospel by bringing the light of Christ to families in need this Christmas season.
If you would like to support this mission but cannot sponsor a family, you can still help by donating to our St. Anne Friends of the Needy Fund. Your donation will go directly toward purchasing food, toys, or gift cards for families in need this holiday season.
In Christ,
John Caballero, Director
St. Anne Friends of the Needy
