Christmas Adopt-A-Family and Giving Tree

Notes to share:

From a senior citizen -  “Thank you so much for your generosity, which brought me to tears… The gas card will allow me to keep my medical appointments, the stamps will allow me to pay my bills and keep in touch with friends, especially during these trying times of COVID; the paper products and laundry supplies you provided will allow me to spend my money on my medications without having to choose between them. The personal items touched my heart in a very special way, and the utility assistance is greatly appreciated… Thank you so very much!!!”

Another senior citizen -  “I want to thank you so much for the gifts you have given me. Just to know people like you care and reach out during the Christmas season with a heartful of love, makes me feel cared for.  Everything you have gifted me helps through the year and I am able not to worry about my gas bill during these cold months. Have a wonderful Christ-mas and a Blessed 2021!”

The eight organizations benefiting from our Christmas Giving Tree ornaments were:

• St. Dominic’s Outreach Center in Detroit
• Courtyard Manor of Wixom• Another Way Pregnancy Center in Farmington Hills
• Alternatives for Girls in Detroit• Abigayle Ministry in Sterling Heights
• Lennon Center in Dearborn

All received the gifts provided by St. James parishioners on Monday, December 14th, and were thrilled and deeply appreciative of the generosity shown. Your care and concern for those less fortunate came through loud and clear!

Thank you for sharing your blessings and making the lives of so many a little brighter during this Holiday Season!
