Time is running out, there's no tree to pull cards from this year, you just need to purchase your gift cards and bring them to the church.
We see Jesus in the Eucharist and in our neighbors in need. Last Christmas, because of your generosity, the Giving Tree was able to provide assistance to 116 Marshfield families in need. This year, the increased cost of housing, groceries, and fuel has increased the number of Marshfield families who need help with the essentials of life not only at Christmas by year round. Our Giving Tree volunteers will begin collecting Gift Cards to local stores beginning Saturday, November 19th through Sunday, December 4th.

Our distribution date will be Friday, December 9th.
You may also bring your donations to the rectory during office hours.

Suggestions for Gift Cards include Stop & Shop, Shaws, Roche Brothers, Ocean State Job Lot, Dollar Tree, Target, Walmart, Marshalls, and T.J. Maxx.
