For more than 20 years, St. Paul’s has partnered with Fairhill Partners’ Kinship Care program to provide holiday gifts to children being raised by their grandparents. Our partnership has provided hundreds of Christmas gifts to local children throughout the years.

Your contribution is worth more than the price of the gift. By doing the shopping (online or in-store) and gift wrapping, you’re allowing these grandparents to spend more quality time with the children around the holidays. If you will already be finding and wrapping gifts for your family, pick up an extra present (or two) and spread even more holiday cheer!

Names and wish lists of children, along with all other needed details, will be available on Sundays in November outside Tucker Hall. Follow the instructions from Fairhill Partners for labeling the gift, and bring it to the church by Tuesday, December 2. A printed copy of these instructions will be available when you pick up a wishlist.

Fairhill Partners Gift Instructions

1. Purchase and wrap the requested item. Try to stay around $25.

2. Add an open, visible tag with the child’s first name and last initial.

3. Put another removable tag that says “Fairhill Partners gift” OR put the gift in a bag that says “Fairhill Partners gift.”

4. Deliver the gift to the parish office no later than Tuesday, December 2. Please check with the office to make sure they are open. We like the gifts to be secure in the office. You can also bring the gifts to the table outside Tucker Hall on Sundays.

Questions? Reach out to Julie Dornback or Jennie Kaffen. Their phone numbers are on Realm, Parish Notes, E-News, or Sunday Notes (with the Sunday service bulletin). You can also call the church office.

Thank you so much for your kind generosity. These gifts make a big difference for the kids and their grandparents!
