 Each year
Catholic Charities assists families with
children and teenagers who do not qualify for
other Christmas programs in the Memphis
community. Families who are experiencing
hardships and can't buy needed gifts for their
children. Seniors who have no one else to
care.
Each family has a
different story -- sudden unemployment,
high
medical bills, poor working families struggling
to meet basic needs, seniors with no family
who just want a pair of slippers.
Gifts or
gift cards
are needed for children 0 - 18
and for the elderly. Our goal is to provide each
child or senior with at least 2 gifts!

We encourage organizations, parishes, and
individuals to adopt families for Christmas as
well.
Gifts can be
delivered to 1325 Jefferson Ave., Memphis, TN,
Mondays - Thursdays, 8 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. and on
Fridays 8 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Pick up is
also available.
We
also need
volunteers
to help
sort and distribute gifts.
