St. Matthew House Christmas Outreach
Saint Matthew House Christmas Outreach
Saint Matthew House (SMH) residents are, for the most part, disabled and are limited in their ability to get around. Most do not own cars. They are primarily dependent on the Kings Contrivance Village Center to shop or for access to bus transportation to other locations.
Again, this year, as part of our Sunday School St Nicholas Day Workshop on December 6th, we would like to put together some Christmas gifts for the residents. There are 16-17 residents. We would like to solicit money donations only for Saint Matthew House and, depending how much is collected, the church will purchase the SMH gifts. This will also ensure consistency with the same gifts to each resident.
These donations will enable the residents to purchase food and hopefully a nice gift to make their Christmas a little more enjoyable. We know that we’ve been asking a lot of our parishioners with respect to donations coming up on the holidays, but this is an excellent outreach opportunity for our parish to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors.
- You can donate by check; please write SMH Gifts in the memo or comments line.
- If you prefer to donate cash, please enclose it in an envelope with your name so we may give credit for the donation.
- You can also donate on-line from the church website, https://www.stmatthewoca.org/donate, please select Saint Matthew House Donation on the To: line as the giving type
Please contact the SMH Board, Tom Lentscher, Craig Moyer or Don Sheppard if you have any questions.
Thank You in advance for anything you can provide to help us bring Christmas into the lives of these residents.
