Each year St. Paul’s provides every resident of The Villas, Heritage and Ridgewood with Christmas gifts. This usually is a list with nearly 300 names on it. The gifts are wrapped by volunteers and distributed by Santa and his helpers on the day before Christmas.

 

For some residents, these are in addition to gifts they receive from family and friends. But for others, these gifts from St. Paul’s are the only ones that they have to open for Christmas.

 

Each year the Resident’s Christmas Appeal offers our friends the opportunity to contribute toward providing for the gifts that we give to our residents. If there are any contributions remaining after the gifts are purchased, these are used in other ways to make sure that the residents have a Merry Christmas and for special programs for the new year.
