if you could wish for anything,
What would it be?
We asked our kids that same question, and this year we compiled some of those wishes that you and your family can grant for kids and families this holiday season.
Your gift will allow kids to feel safe afterschool, to have a space to “be me”, to have crafts, to go on field trips, to have a community surrounded in love, hope, and so much more.
And if all of these wishes are granted, St. Mark is committed to using your gifts to continue to help area kids and families in the best way possible.
Choose your special holiday present from St. Mark Youth Enrichment and give a gift that will help kids and families this year and beyond.
With Warmest Wishes,
