STM Appalachian Shoebox Christmas:
It is that time a year again when the children of St. Thomas More School have the opportunity to spread Christmas joy to children deep in the Appalachian Mountains.
This will be the 10th year STM Appalachian Shoebox Christmas.  We will be delivering 167 shoeboxes to the children of Dingess W. Va. and taking gift bags to 30 of “The Poorest of the Poor”. This is a very impoverished community, every child in the school receives a free breakfast and lunch.  Every year this simple shoebox gift will be their only Christmas gift. Please sign-up to fill a shoebox, and as you do so remember that Jesus asks us to care for the least of his children.

This outreach service project is for the STM school children and families.  The weekend of November 18th I would like to make it available to your friends and other family members.  Sign-up early so you can choose a shoebox child that your child would like to shop for. The “Poorest of the Poor” is open to anyone who would be willing to provide for the most needy.
With great thanks and appreciation,
Patti Wagner
