Every Christmas, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul registers needy families to receive gift cards to help with Christmas gifts.

In December 2023, with the help of St. Ann parishioners, the Conference assisted 158 children from 60 families. Every family received at least $50 in food cards, with larger families receiving more.

For gifts, there was a $25 gift card for each child, plus one or more extra gift cards, depending on the size of the family.

Residents of the Solivita community did a book drive so each child could receive books.  Special thanks go to the Knights of Columbus, the Columbiettes, and the “Solivita Friends Helping Our Neighbors in Need” club for supporting our projects.
