Dear Families,
As we move into the winter season, we would like to share the following resources that are available in case you or any of your loved ones may need a little extra help.
Holiday Assistance
Taking applications until November 19, 2020 for Thanksgiving and Christmas Food Baskets. Apply in person at the Bowling Green Salvation Army Office at 1045 N. Main Street, Bowling Green, Ohio 43402 (419-352-5918). To see required documents needed when you apply, please follow this link: https://tinyurl.com/yyyut4hm.
Thayer Christmas Dreams helps families in need of toys or clothing for their children up to the age of 17. They must live in Wood County. Families call in with a description of the gifts that they need for their children. Thayer and Salvation Army compare applicants, therefore families cannot receive services from both organizations. Please contact Rachael London at 419-353-5751 to apply.
Toys-for-Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve. Each year they distribute thousands of toys to children whose parents/guardians cannot afford to buy holiday gifts. To apply for toys, please follow this link: perrysburg-oh.toysfortots.org.
Please fill out an Angel Tree wish list and return it to the St. Rose Parish Office by Friday, November 6, 2020.
