FAMILY TO FAMILY SHARING!
As is our custom at Holy Cross we are sponsoring many families from our surrounding community - San Mateo, San Carlos and Redwood City. Our commitment is to provide gifts for each child in the family and food gift cards for each family. To participate, please consider choosing a child or two from the Giving Tree (found in The Oaks lobby) and providing them with gifts (total value of $50 to $75) or making a monetary donation. Please see Anastacia Stamates after church or contact at anastaciams68@gmail.com or 650-868-2569 for more information.
