Brother Andre Outreach Center Christmas Family Sponsorship 2024
The Brother Andre Outreach Center (the BAOC) at Saint Agnes Parish is again organizing its Christmas Family Sponsorship program. Maria Ahumada, the Center’s volunteer director, has provided a list of about 11 households that are in need of Christmas sponsorship. They range from a family of 8 to a single senior - with most being small families or couples. We are looking for LA alumnae to sponsor these households or contribute items or gift cards (Ralphs, Target or Amazon preferred) to the family Christmas packages which will be distributed at the BAOC the week before Christmas. Maureen Cassidy ’71 can provide detailed information on what gifts are needed, shipping them to St. Agnes Parish and other questions you may have. If you would like to participate at any level or have questions, please email Maureen (mcassidy08@gmail.com ) or call 310-717-6350. The need is great. Thank you!
Maureen has said that “… though the Christmas season is a busy one with lots of demands for our time and generosity, the hope is that coordinating group sponsorship of the identified families leads to more participation without being a great investment of either time or treasure. The need is great! Several LA Saint Mary’s alumnae supported sponsorships for past Christmases and were happy to have had that be a part of their Christmas celebration.”
