F a m i l i e s H e l p i n g F a m i l i e s Families Helping Families (FHF) is a group of local churches and organizations who assist children in the Batesville School District during the Christmas season. Just as the Wise Men shared their gifts with the Infant Jesus, FHF wants to allow people to share their gifts with others this Christmas season. Please look for our new FHF signs at the church entrances.
How can you help?
Pray Your prayers are requested for the families in our community who are struggling and find themselves in need at this time of year. We also ask for prayers for all of those who are involved in this program to make sure all children in our Batesville community have a Christmas.
Gift Tags Each tag represents one child’s wishes. Please purchase all items on the tag. If you are unable to find a tag that fits your level of giving, perhaps you can partner with a family member or friend. We appreciate that tags are taken, but please fulfill the wishes on the tag if you choose to take one. Please place the unwrapped gifts in a bag with the tag attached. If the gifts are too large, please duplicate the tag and attach a tag to each item. The numbers and letters on the tags are very important for matching the gift to the correct child. All gifts are due back Sunday, December 4
th.
Monetary Donations If you would like to make a monetary donation, please take a special envelope from the FHF basket. Check can be written payable to St. Louis Church and specifying “FHF” on the check. All donations can be placed in the collection basket at church or dropped off at the parish office. There are volunteer shoppers who use the donations to fulfill the wishes of leftover tags.
If your family or group of friends would like to buy for a whole family please
contact Maureen Harpring at 812-852-4877
If you have questions or know of a family in need, please contact Maureen Saner at 812-934-5740
