NOVEMBER
Holiday Giving Tree
Help spread the gift of joy and the holiday spirit by providing a gift for a San Francisco foster youth. SFCASA will hold their annual holiday party for foster youth in early December. For most foster youth, the party has become their only holiday tradition. They look forward to getting together, playing games (the BINGO table is always full) sharing a hot meal and taking home a gift, perhaps the only one they will receive for Christmas.
Once again St. Finn Barr Catholic School will be hosting a Giving Tree in the school foyer. The tree will be up for the entire month of November. If your family would like to participate, please have your child select an ornament (or two) from the tree in the foyer, fulfill the request and return the gift card in a sealed envelope marked “Giving Tree” to Mrs. LaChon by November 30th. (Envelopes will be collected in the classroom or you can drop off at office.)
The gift request from the foster youth is in the form of a gift card donation. The gift card allows the youth to shop and make their own choice, something they rarely get to do, and it also provides for a special outing with the youth and their CASA volunteer. The Giving Tree will once again have ornaments for gift requests and BINGO prize requests.
SFCASA thanks the SFB community for your continued support and generosity in helping to make a child’s holiday wish come true.
