Announcements 4 this week “Angel Tree 2020 – Christmas Baskets”
This year, the Parish of Fitzroy will be coordinating the sponsorship of two (or maybe more!) families. In previous years, a collection of the required items (food, cash, gifts) would be assembled in our individual churches for a designated family and then delivered to Carp (Parish of Huntley). However, during these Covid times, only monetary donations can be accepted. The Parish of Huntley has undertaken to purchase the items needed for the Christmas Baskets and arrange for delivery – a huge undertaking.
So following this new path, would you please consider donating money over the next few weeks to meet our goal of $1000 to sponsor two families.
Donations will be gratefully accepted in many ways:
- can be given to Pat Weir; Darlene Weir either at home, her mailbox or at her work at TSC; Mary Braun; or to the church office on Thursday or Friday.
Donations can also be mailed to: Parish of Fitzroy Harbour, P.O. Box 191, 192 Shirreff Street, Fitzroy Harbour ON K0A 1X0 . Please make your cheque payable to your church (either St. George’s or St. Thomas’s) and NOT to the Parish of Fitzroy Harbour.
Please clearly mark on your cheque/envelope “Angel Tree” and your name and address if you wish to receive a charitable receipt.
NEW: You can also make your donation through our parish website which you can access by clicking HERE
Also, we would appreciate if you could spread the word to friends and family, and other members of the Parish of Fitzroy and St. John’s who do not have email.
If anyone has any questions, please contact Pat Weir at 613-623-5455 or Karen Wilson at 613-839-5894.
Thank you in advance to everyone for your generosity during these difficult times,
Karen & Pat
