Angel Tree Project

THE 2025 GESU ANGEL TREE PROJECT

Dear Gesu Community,


The Gesu Angel Tree Committee invites you to be an angel and help Gesu brighten the Christmas season for local families. There are many ways that you and your family can participate in the Gesu Angel Tree Project. Read below for more information on how to get involved.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

Select a family/individual to shop for, and use the provided wish lists as your guide in purchasing items

Visit the Gesu Angel Tree SignUpGenius


  • Choose one or more families/individuals to purchase gifts for and then click on the button to sign up. Click "Submit and Sign Up" to complete the sign-up process. You'll receive an email from SignUp Genius (info@signupgenius.com) confirming your selection(s).
  • Purchase gifts, wrap/label them. All gift items should be new. If possible, please include gift receipts for gifts going to specific families. If shopping online, PLEASE be sure that the gifts you order will be delivered to you before December 6.
  • Please note the posted wish lists are suggestions of the types of gifts that would be most needed/appreciated - you are NOT required to provide every suggested gift. 
  • Collect all of the wrapped/labeled gifts for a given family or individual in bags/containers that are clearly labeled with the organization and the identifying family number. If you don’t include a label with the organization and family number, we will not know where to send your gifts!
  • Deliver your gifts to McAuley Hall on December 6, 2025 (Service Day!) between 8:00 am and 5:30 pm, or on December 7 before 1:00 pm. Our liaisons will be picking up the gifts to transport to the agencies on the afternoon of December 7, so please make sure your gifts are dropped off by the Sunday 1:00 pm deadline.

If you have any questions, the contact information for each organization's Gesu liaison can be found on the Angel Tree SignUpGenius.


Make a monetary contribution towards the purchase of Angel Tree gifts

Drop off a donation check made payable to “Church of the Gesu” at the Parish Office by NO LATER THAN Friday, November 21. Indicate “Angel Tree Project” in the memo line.  Our volunteer shoppers will use those funds to buy gifts for any requests that aren’t adopted by parishioners.


Spread holiday cheer by being an Angel Tree shopper

You will be given a gift list and funds to make the purchases. Visit the Gesu Angel Tree SignUpGenius to volunteer.
