Saint Paul collection drives help those in need in our local communities. Thank you in advance, we appreciate your continued generous support. 

Donations Needed :

Home Made Masks for parishioners and those working with Catholic Charities (drop off in Church Narthex or at the Rectory).

Nonperishable Food items for Damascus Help (drop off in Church Narthex).

Crocheted Shawls - A shawl is a tangible sign of God's love and our prayers.  Our shawls are given to the bereaved and to our sick (drop off in Church Narthex).

Crocheted Baby Hats and Blankets to be donated to local Hospitals (drop off in Church Narthex).

Annual Coat Drive (October 31 through November 29) - New or gently used coats will be collected for Catholic Charities to distribute to those in need within the Archdiocese of Washington (drop off in Church Narthex). 

Thanksgiving Baskets - This year, Shonuf Turkey Farm will once again provide turkeys for those on our list needing assistance.  We will add gift cards to local stores for the families to shop for the rest of their meal. You can purchase gift cards to local stores from the Catholic Daughters at Saint Paul the weekends of Oct. 31/Nov. 1 and Nov 7/8 to donate for the baskets.  The gift cards will be delivered mid-November, in time for Thanksgiving distribution (drop off at the Rectory). 

Christmas Angel Tree Program - Saint Paul provides Chritmas gifts for local families in need.  The Angel Tree will be set up in church before Thanksgiving with gift tag requests, as in years past. Please take a tag to purchase a gift. If you wish to participate but are unable to take a tag and purchase a specific gift, please email Margie Apgar at  mapgar@stpauldamascus.org (drop off date/location will be announced).

Clothing Collection Box - You can help the St. Vincent de Paul Society by placing gently used clothes and shoes inside the clothing collection box (in the rectory parking lot).
