Annual Giving Tree Program

It has been a long-standing tradition here at the Church of Saint John the Evangelist of Little Canada to assist those in need at Christmas through our Annual Giving Tree. This year, we will have a combined physical tree and online version of this initiative. Gift tags will be located on the tree in the Gathering Space beginning November 19 and gifts need to be returned no later than noon on December 11.

Online donations are being accepted through December 10. Please donate by clicking the button below or scroll down to read about the various organizations we partner with and the good work that they do!  Thank you for your generosity!
