Please participate in our annual Angel Tree Project, sponsored by the St. Stephen the Martyr Social Justice Ministry. This year, we will provide gifts for the elderly served by the Eastern Nebraska Office on Aging (ENOA).
There are Three Ways to Participate:
- Sign up to “adopt” a specific person(s). Our goal is to adopt 100 individuals. Sign-up sheets & and wish lists will be available in the Gathering Space after all Masses on Saturday, November 4th, and Sunday, November 5th. Wish lists contain up to three items. Wrapped/tagged gifts can be returned under the tree in the Gathering Space through December 3rd.
- Take an ornament from one of the trees and return the item(s) under the trees. These items should not be wrapped. ENOA will give them to clients as needed.
- Give Stamps, Gift Cards, Cash/Checks: You can donate books of stamps, $10 or $25 gift cards (Walmart or Target), cash or checks by placing them in the wooden drop box labeled “Angel Tree Project” in the Gathering Space. Checks should be made out to St. Stephen the Martyr Church.
