Saint Ambrose Advent Kindness Pines

Share the spirit of Christmas – the spirit of giving from the heart!

All gifts are signed out for this year! Thank everyone for the continued support and participation again this year in helping those most in need.

In-Person Kindness Pine Information

Look for the 3 Kindness Pines located at the entryways of the church. The trees are filled with tags listing items for families in need in our community. Please consider taking a tag or two sharing the spirit of Christmas – the spirit of giving from the heart.

The tags will give you all the directions and details!

*If you take a tag from one of the trees in church – please sign it out on the “sign up sheets” provided near the tree for tracking purposes. Always include the tag # on the gift when returning so we can get it to the right person.

*Please pray for the families on our trees that are in need. Every tag is a person. Every situation different. All special to God.

  • Please do not wrap your requested gift!
  • Please drop off gifts at the Parish Office by December 12. We need all these gifts turned in by December 12 as we deliver gifts BEFORE Christmas to ensure that recipients have gifts to open on Christmas.
