SGC Fundraisers
Saint Gerard Circle mothers of faith regard alms giving as our way of thanking God for all the blessings He has given us. We give glory to Him by paying it forward by taking what we have and giving to those in need. Every year, SGC hosts a fundraising events to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and care for the oppressed. "And if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then your light will rise in darkness and your gloom will become like midday." Isaiah 58:10.
Circle of Giving
Although we weren't able to host a fundraising event this year, you still have an opportunity to help the least of God's children through the Annual Circle of Giving. Each year, St. Gerard Circle ladies chip in to raise money to donate to three local charities. If you have ever contributed to this almsgiving, thank you!
This year's fund drive is off to a great start! So far, we have raised a little over $1600 on behalf of three amazing organizations: Aid to Women's Center, AZ Together, and AZCEND. Deadline for donations is April 30.
100% of your donation supports charities.
In light of the current economic standstill, there are many struggling who could really use a helping hand right now. Whether you give $5 or $500, you will support organizations that reach those most in need. If you can't donate, please pray for our charities. Thank you.
