Join us in making a difference this Lent! The Giving Tree Drive is a powerful way to support those in need by providing essential household items, toiletries, and cleaning supplies for our Refugee Resettlement Program. Your generosity helps furnish at least six family homes each year, while also assisting individuals facing crises who turn to St. Laurence for help. But that’s not all—your donations also benefit:
Parks Youth Ranch, a shelter for homeless teens
Hope Bags for the homeless, providing essentials to those living on the streets
When & How to Give
Donation Weekends: Pick up a tag on the plaza during the weekends of March 8/9 & March 15/16
Did you miss the drive? No worries! We collect donations year-round to support the growing number of families in need.

Many times clients come in needing food or gas assistance. We have a small food pantry and can offer them non-perishable products. We also may give them a gift card to a local store enabling them to purchase fresh produce, milk, and eggs. Additionally, many local stores have gasoline, so the gift cards serve double duty.
