The holidays will soon be here … and so the angel project returns.
Circle of Care’s mission is to provide volunteer services that will help our seniors and others with illness or challenges that come with staying in their homes, here in Point Roberts.
From organizing meal deliveries, collecting prescriptions, chauffeuring to doctor appointments, to helping with chores, interfacing with absent families and referring caregivers for in-home care, we are here to help.
We have two win/win fundraising products this month: holiday swags (This will be our 10th year making swags!) and picturesque Point Roberts 2025 wall calendars. Additionally, we are reprising The Angel Project for the holiday season.
Circle of Care board members will gather on Friday, November 22 to construct beautiful and whimsical holiday swags for your front door, porch or living room mantle. Small, medium and premium swags are available in vertical or horizontal designs, decorated with ribbons, pinecones, tiny toys and ornaments.
Your swags can be collected the afternoon of November 22 at the Trinity Church hall. Swags are $25 (small), $30 (medium), and $35 (premium).
Please email your order, stating size as well as any colors or theme requests, to prcocswags@gmail.com.
Our picturesque Point Roberts 2025 calendars are now available for purchase. These beautiful, suitable-for-gifting calendars are spiral bound, printed on heavy, luminous card stock and feature various local photographers’ photos of sunsets, landscapes, eagles and other wildlife.
They are $25 each or 10 for $100. Please send your orders to prcircleofcare@gmail.com with “calendars” in the subject line.
Our motto for most of our fundraisers is: You give something, you get something. It’s a win/win for everyone!
The Angel Project
Initially organized by Pamala Sheppard in 2020, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, and subsequently organized and administered by Circle of Care board of trustees, The Angel Project is an opportunity for our community to provide Point Roberts families and elders with gift cards or cash during the holiday season.
Who benefits? Seniors living on fixed incomes having trouble paying the utility bills or buying groceries, families with children struggling to have something under the tree for their little ones, residents with health issues or disability challenges. Let’s do it again this year and make the season bright for everyone!
If you are aware of someone who you believe is struggling and could benefit from a little financial aid, please send us an email at prcircleofcare@gmail.com.
