Christmas Hampers 2025

The St. Agnes Society of Saint Vincent de Paul wishes to express our heartfelt thanks to all who supported our work this Christmas season. You helped to make Christmas extra special for 49 families, including 41 children and 5 teens!  Clothing for children 12 and under, gift cards for teens, and treats for families were provided through the angel tree.  Angel tree gift cards and financial donations enabled us to give gift cards for food, which allowed families to personalize their selections.  A big thank you too to Bluevale CI’s Choose2Lead class, who provided the toiletries for our baskets, to the ladies who donated their cozy hand knitted hats, and to the Knights of Columbus, who provided the toys.  A donation of food from Waterloo Wolves Junior Hockey, age 9 group, and the receipt of the Spirit of Hope collection, along with the year end financial generosity of our donors, will enable us to continue to support our Neighbours in Need in the New Year.  Many thanks to our wonderful volunteers as well.  We are  once again overwhelmed by the generosity of our parishioners and community!  Wishing you all a blessed Christmas and 2026.
