Christmas Bags

It’s time to start thinking of our Christmas Bags for the residents at Mapleview, Pleasant Meadow Manor and Station Place.  We will be collecting individual items to fill the bags. A list will be provided shortly. These will then be put together to make Ladies and Men’s Bags. Please donate what you can – all items are appreciated. We will be filling roughly 293 bags.

Items can be dropped off at Julia Barbers house at 78 Ridge St. Norwood, at the Rectory or Julia will pick them up. We need the items by mid-November. Just put items in a plastic bag or box. If you wish to donate money for this project, Julia will purchase the needed items. If you have any questions, call Julia at 705-639-2292. Thank you for your support.
