It is that time of Year again when we begin to gather new toys and other items for the children and adolescents whose families cannot afford to provide for them this Christmas.

Our mission to the poor as a Franciscan Community seeks to help those who are less fortunate or have fallen on difficult times. We encourage others as well as ourselves to give to others and share the joy and peace of the Holiday Season.

Any donation you give I personally deliver to those in need. If everyone could give one dollar with all the supporters we have we could collect over one thousand dollar's to help those in need.

There are many ways to donate you can visit our website www.cfapli.net and go to the Community Projects page and click on the donate button or you could bring a new toy or donation to our service in Wantagh 1845 Wantagh Ave on December 2nd or Dec. 16th either before or after liturgy or you could message me and arrange for a time to drop off your donation at my office in Amityville NY.

I know these are challenging fiscal times for all of us but I ask you to consider donating to this great cause.

All donations are tax deductible since we are a 501(c)(3)

Thank you in advance and I hope you and your families have a joyous Holiday Season.
