Beginning the weekend of November 22-23, you will be able to select tags from the Holy Family Advent Giving Trees to benefit the Care Closets of Fond du Lac area schools. Care Closets provide students in need clothing, school supplies, and hygiene items, so they do not have to go without and feel different than their peers. Tags will list items needed by students by age group. The trees will also again have dollar tags, which will be used by Holy Family Youth Group students to purchase gifts for the Fondy Closet, which benefits their peers at Fond du Lac High School. All items must be returned to the churches by Sunday, December 7. Thank you.
