Giving Tuesday
ROC the day by supporting Saint's Place on Giving Tuesday! All of the funds raised will be used to support the many programs that benefit refugee families in Rochester.
Angle Tree 2022
A Yearly Tradition
Every year, Saint's Place fills and delivers Christmas Baskets to refugee families who have arrived in Rochester over the last year. The families are selected in partnership with Catholic Charities and include refugee families who have been in the United States for many years, but are struggling with unemployment, hardship or poverty.
This year, Toys 4 Tots is donating the toys for our Christmas baskets! You can help fill these baskets by taking a tag from a tree at St. Louis Church in Pittsford, buying something from our Amazon Wishlist, or dropping off one of the following items: large laundry detergent, twin xl sheets, twin warm blanket, twin comforter, blender, toaster, iron, crockpot, coffee maker, large bottles of lotion, towel sets, men's winter boots (size 7-10), women's winter boots (size 8-9), grocery gift cards and warm winter gloves for adults.
