St. Daniel Catholic Church gives to charity organizations

St. Daniel Catholic Church’s Giving Tree is helping eight charitable organizations this holiday season.
Giving Tree chairperson Janet Glasgow was joined by family and church members in sorting the gifts after Mass Dec. 14.
‘This has become part of our holiday tradition,? Glasgow said. ‘We try to do something that helps.?
The organizations that will benefit from the Giving Tree include: Lighthouse Clarkston, Oakland County Criminal Justice Ministry, Focus Hope Families, Giving Tree of Hope, Covenant House, Spirit of Joy, a local soup kitchen and St. Daniel Parish shut-ins.
‘The response by our church members has been incredible. There were more than 900 tags on the tree and they were all taken,? Glasgow said. ‘I was quite overwhelmed.?
The committee received donations from Nov. 12 through Dec. 14. The church receives phone calls from different organizations needing help and they then decide which organizations they can help.
