This years giving tree will benefit families that are served by Saint Vincent De Paul through Our Lady of the Pillar Parish in Half Moon Bay, St. Anthony’s in Pescadero and Our Lady of Refuge in La Honda. SVDP has established three bases of operation to reach as many people as possible since the ratio of needy to the population is higher on the coast than elsewhere in the Bay Area. They serve over 10% of the coast side population each year, which includes migrant farm works, working poor, homeless and seniors through their food pantry and home visits. The tree will be in the vestibule beginning November 30th. Just select an ornament from the tree showing the gift wish of one of the children or families served, and return your gift to by Sunday, December 15th.
