St. Elizabeth basket project underway

Special to the OBSERVER

With Christmas fast approaching, the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church is beginning to prepare for its annual Christmas Basket Project.

Each year, the church provides food and gifts for up to 160 needy families from the area. Last year’s project was able to assist approximately 650 adults and children from the area. The organizers rely on the generous contributions of the community to support this tremendous endeavor. Approximately $10,000 needs to be raised to fund the project.

Over the next few weeks, the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Christmas Basket Project is collecting money, gifts and food. Food items include non-perishables, as well as hams and turkeys. Any and all donations are greatly appreciated.

Through Dec. 6, the Christmas Basket Project organizers will be accepting applications for Christmas baskets. To request a basket, the only phone number to call is 363-6080. When calling this number, please be patient with regards to someone calling back to take applications, as call volume is extremely heavy in the first week or so.

The baskets will be put together and distributed on Dec. 13 to 15. Volunteers are needed to assist with the weekend of Christmas Baskets. If you wish to volunteer to help with this wonderful event (We need many hands!) or make a donation, please contact Carol Smith, Project Coordinator at 410-0504.
