Holiday Time is Coming Soon

Just as we have in years past, we have big plans to bring some joy to every Pasteur family. This year, we’re starting early with a book-give-away. Our plan was to give every Pasteur student a new book to take home before they went on Thanksgiving break. This has been delayed due to the COVID cleaning (read further for more information). They will get the books when they return to school this week.

Before Christmas vacation begins, all 304 students will receive a bag of new art supplies (crayons and colored pencil, art pads, Play-Doh, and an activity book and a book to read) that will definitely keep them busy and creative during the school break.

For 15+ families, who are in the greatest need (several of which are considered “homeless” – living with family members or in temporary housing), we are planning a special surprise. As we have in past years, the Friends will “adopt” these families to insure that every child  receives holiday gifts.  We will be sending new clothes, books and toys to the kids in each home, newborn to 18.

While the time and talent of our volunteers is free, these things come with a price tag. To accomplish all that we have planned, we need your help! You showed up big last year and we believe that this year can be even better. These gifts will cost upwards of $5,000.

Please consider making a gift, as our help for the holiday may be the only gifts they receive, by sending a check to the address below or donating on our website www.friendsofpasteur.org. You can feel good about your gift making a direct impact on a family!
