Advent Candle Project

There are many area families who cannot afford gifts at Christmas. The Advent Candle Project, in partnership with Howe Elementary, a Green Bay-area school with significant numbers of homeless and other at-risk families, addresses this concern by identifying families in need through the school social worker.

Gifts and household supplies are determined and donations are coordinated within our parish. Presents are then wrapped and delivered to the respective homes.

Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteers are needed to assist with the coordination of the gift list, assist with publicizing initiative, and purchasing, wrapping, sorting and delivering gifts.

Time Commitment
Varied: The time volunteers commit could be between 15 minutes to 10 hours per week once per year, depending on what role they take on.
