St. Luke’s Mission of Mercy provides gifts to families in need during the Christmas season. Adopting a family is a great way to spread cheer.
When you adopt a family, you’ll receive information regarding that family (ex. boy, age 7; girl, age 12, etc.) so you have an idea of what to purchase. Please drop off gifts in Campus Ministry by December 19.
You can also join us at St. Luke’s on December 20 at 6:00 p.m. to distribute gifts!
To adopt a family, please contact Darby Ratliff at ratliffd@canisius.edu or Ext. 2875. To sign up to help with distribution, please visit canisiuslocalservice.10to8.com.
