Christmas in July/Hour Children/Heartfelt Thank-you

As previously shared, St. Stephen’s Church is excited to partner with Hour Children, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting families impacted by incarceration. This special program aims to bring holiday joy to the children of inmates served by Hour Children.

This year, with the possibility of price for toys rising significantly later in 2025, and to ensure there would be an adequate supply of gifts in December, we decided to reach out the both the St. Stephen’s congregation and the broader Ridgefield community for a “Christmas in July” campaign. The response has been overwhelming!

St. Stephen’s narthex was filled with of boxes of gifts (over 185 gifts!) from both St. Stephen’s parish and the Ridgefield community!!
