Meet Alexis a Coletta Collections Weaver

Getting Ready for Christmas
Posted by Christine Eckstein on
Our participants make this year's holiday ornament, a gingerbread house. The ornament is a fundraiser for our Be An Angel Program which provides food and gifts for families of St. Coletta students and adult participants identified as needing extra help during the holiday season. Last year we were able to raise enough money to provide support to 17 families during the holiday season.
