SVDP Giving Tree

If you would like to help a family in need this holiday season, we need gift card(s) from one of the following retailers (in increments of $25 each): Meijer, Walmart, Target or Kohl’s.

We also accept monetary donations for utilities, rent and prescriptions. Checks must be made out to “Guardian Angels SVDP”. Please write “Giving Tree” in the memo section on your check.

Your gift may be placed in an envelope (mark outer envelope “Giving Tree”) and dropped in the offertory in the church narthex at Mass, returned to the parish office during weekday hours, or mailed to the church. All gifts must be returned to us no later than November 24th.

Who are our Giving Tree recipients? Along with the families served by our own St. Vincent de Paul Society, we are also distributing gift cards to:

• SVdP Justice Initiative Prison Ministry – A ministry to help the transition of prisoner reentry back into the community by providing assistance to enable employment – clothing, bus passes, tools, housing, etc.
• Mary’s Children – A non-profit organization serving people with brain injuries/intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.
• Loaves and Fishes of Southwest Detroit –A collaborative approach to eliminating hunger in the Southwest Detroit area by helping fund food purchases to five food pantries.

May God bless you and your families, and may 2025 bring us renewed hope and peace.

With much gratitude,

St. Vincent de Paul
