The following opportunities to give were shared with us by St. Peter’s Parish — for more information, contact 301-334-2202 or visit GarrettStPeter.com
ROTARY TREE
Each year, St. Peter’s participates in the Garrett County Rotary Gift Drive for local children. Look for tags on the trees in the lower level of the church or at the Lake Center. Simply select a tag, fulfill the Christmas Gift Wish for a child and return the unwrapped gifts with your tag to where you picked up the tag or to the office.
GIFT CARD DRIVE
Christmas is particularly challenging for families who struggle financially. St. Peter’s collects Gift Cards to assist parishioners in need of a little help this Christmas. Suggested stores are Walgreens, Shop ‘n Save, Walmart, Sheetz or any of your choosing. Please bring the cards to the office or place in the collection basket in an envelope marked as GIFT CARD.
HOUSE OF HOPE FUNDS DRIVE
The House of Hope will hold their annual Christmas Drive this year on Saturday, December 4th in front of the shops in downtown Oakland on S. 2nd Street. Out of an abundance of care and to better serve the people in need, they will be repeating last year’s model and collecting money instead of food from 9am to Noon. Simply drive up and be warmly greeted and appreciated by volunteers ready to accept your gift. Food Connect Each month Catholic Charities, with the help of St. Peter volunteers, distributes food to those in need in our community. At Christmas, they provide a special meal which includes ham and traditional sides for a Christmas meal. If you would like to contribute to this special distribution, please drop your donation off in the office.
