Every year, CSS runs a program that services approximately 1100 low income families with clothing and toys for Christmas. Beginning on early October, we take applications, run the Giving Tree program for the Diocese of Fall River, collect clothing and toys, and then with an army of volunteers, organize, wrap, and assemble gift baskets. Baskets are then distributed to our Fall River, New Bedford, and Hyannis Office for clients to pick up the Toys.

It is quite the undertaking, and would be impossible without the 100's of volunteers. If you would like to volunteer for this programs, please see our volunteer page.
