Christmas Collection

Wish List Details

A few statements from St. Vincent de Paul to help provide more clarity:

• The value commitment for each child is $75-100. We do not expect anyone to spend any more than that value, although they are welcome to if they would like.
• Items are listed in order of priority by each parent, and it is not expected that shoppers will buy every item on the list. If you can only purchase one item to stay within the $75-100 range, that is completely fine. Or if the parents do not list anything in the $75-100 range, you can be creative about what you purchase for that child and deviate from the list.
• Many of the items may not be as expensive as parishioners might assume. You can purchase items like a cheap cell phone for $50, a child’s tablet for $44, and a cheap Chromebook laptop for just over $100.
• In terms of whether items are “wants” or “needs,” we are choosing to let the parents decide this year what they request for their children on Christmas. Some parents may have all the clothing their child needs from other sources, but cannot afford a cell phone for their child entering middle school, for example. It is up to them to decide!

Thank you for your generous effort to make this Christmas merry for many more.
