Our annual First Parish Secret Santa is about to get underway!
Here’s how it works. The Department of Children and Family Services in Framingham gave First Parish the names of 45 children who need a little help from us to make their holiday season more joyful. In addition to their names, there is information such as their favorite colors, sports, hobbies, their sizes, their needs, and their hopes. You can use this information to buy the child an appropriate gift.
All gifts must be new and may be brought to FPS on Sundays, with a final collection date of Sunday, December 14.
Santa’s helpers arrange to have the gifts delivered. A full set of instructions will be available in the Parish Hall starting November 23.
A few things to remember:
- You are not expected to buy all of the items listed. You don’t have to buy any of the items listed. You may buy any age-appropriate gift that you think the child would like.
- All gifts must be newly bought items.
- The gifts should NOT be wrapped but placed together in a gift bag that is labeled with the name of the child and Social Worker clearly visible.
- Never leave a gift unattended in the Parish Hall, except during Sunday morning services.
- All gifts must be brought to the Parish Hall no later than Sunday, December 14, at noontime.
