Santa has a few extra helpers this year! St. Joseph's employees have purchased gifts for 540 children in need in our community, as part of our annual employee-led SPIRIT Club Adopt-A-Child project. The gifts will be given to children connected to the Child Abuse Prevention Council and San Joaquin County's Human Services Agency. Each child will receive a minimum of two gifts, inspired by items listed on their wish lists. This year we’ve collected over 1450 gifts, including 25 bicycles!
Since the project first launched in 1986, our generous employees have gone above and beyond to help make this time of year extra special for kids in need, and this challenging year was no exception. 🎄🎁
