Giving Guidelines

  • In-Person Donations: To arrange a drop-off, don't hesitate to contact us. We gladly accept all new, age-appropriate toys and winter wear.

  • Gift Wrapping: Please leave gifts unwrapped. St. Anthony High School students will earn service hours by wrapping gifts for their fellow elementary students.

  • Deadline: To ensure timely distribution, all gifts must be received by the second Friday in December.

  • Tax Receipts: To request a tax receipt for your donation, please email Gretchen at zyduckg@stanthonymilwaukee.org.

  • Valuation of In-Kind Donations: St. Anthony School cannot assess the value of in-kind donations. We recommend retaining receipts to claim your donation as a tax deduction.
