Help children in our community stay warm and dry during the fall/winter months!

Please visit the PREPARES gift list on Amazon.com to buy a winter jacket in a size needed by a specific child.

(Jackets will be distributed to children on Nov. 8).

You can also purchase warm clothing and diapers from the gift list -- or consider donating your child's gently used long pants and long-sleeved tops -- please launder if possible, then drop off at the St. Vincent Parish office. We need boys and girls sizes from newborn up to child's size 6/7.

Deck out your house and support the charitable work of the Knights of Columbus by purchasing poinsettias, wreaths and door swags. You can also order poinsettias and donate them to St. Vincent and St. Theresa for our Christmas season liturgies!

Please note: LAST DAY TO ORDER is Tuesday, Oct. 28, at 11:45 p.m.

Items can be picked up at St. Vincent on Dec. 3.

You can help a wounded veteran have a brighter Christmas by purchasing gift cards through a program sponsored by our Knights of Columbus. The goal is to provide 300 wounded warriors with gifts cards to purchase food for Christmas dinner, goods for family needs or gas for medical appointments.

Please purchase cards for Fred Meyer, Safeway, Walmart, Target and Amazon, or gas cars for ARCO and Chevron. Cards can also be purchased through the parish school, which also raises funds for the school.

Drop your cards off at the parish office by Nov. 30.
