The Christmas Caravan is a free community even for homeless person and for near homeless families. No application, income documentation, or proof of residency is required. All of those in need are welcome and encouraged to attend, celebrate and receive items. We make every effort to ensure everyone in need has the opportunity to receive but cannot guarantee that everyone's needs will be met. This is usually an outdoor event, and subject to cold, wet weather.
Come and join our youth group on Saturday, December 21st for the next Christmas Caravan!!
The items that our own parish brings are items that are GENEROUSLY donated by parishioners. These items include:
Toys
Blankets
Clothing
Toiletries
Winter Coats
Sleeping Bags
The parish of St. Jude the Apostle is very fortunate to have a youth group that helps spearhead this event along with other parishes. We encourage parishioners and our Confirmation candidates to attend this event to not only give back to the community but also serve those who are in need.
