ECS’ Annual Christmas Gift Drive is Back!
Thanks to the feedback from local parishes, and with Covid-19 behind us, we are reinstating the popular Christmas Gift Drive at ECS. With your help and the help of our surrounding parishes, we can provide gifts to the 430 youngest children from seven ECS’ Out of School Time programs in the Philadelphia region.
Fulfill a Wish
Children have written their gift wishes on a tag, so that you can choose exactly what they wish!
- Please be sure that your gift is valued at no more than $25.
- To request a tag you can email Kyle Evans at kylee@ecsphilly.org or call her at 215-351-1478.
- Tags are also being made available through your worshipping communities. Check with your local parish or initiate a drive at your parish!
- You can also donate cash online! Please be sure to include “Gift Drive” in the comment box and, if pertinent, your parish/company affiliation, to be sure your gift is used for this effort.
Deliver a Wish
If you are providing gifts or gift cards, please wrap the gifts, and place the gift tags on the wrapped presents or gift cards. You will be asked to complete a gift-in-kind form when you drop off your gifts or gift cards. Or you can fill out the form in advance by downloading the form here.
Deadline to donate to this year’s drive is on or before Tuesday, December 10.
All donated gifts and gift cards are to be delivered to ECS’ office at 225 S. 3rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106, during their days and hours of operation, Tuesday-Thursday, 9:00am-4:30pm.
