Share the Magic: Help Fill Holiday Gift Bags with Love

This season, you have the power to make someone’s holiday brighter. Many in our community are facing cold days and difficult times—but with your help, we can deliver warmth, comfort, and joy. We’re creating holiday gift bags filled with cozy essentials, sweet treats, and messages of hope for those in need. A small act of kindness from you can mean the world to someone else. Please consider donating from our Amazon – 2025 Holiday Gift List today and help us share the true spirit of the season—love, generosity, and compassion. Together, we can make the holidays a little brighter for everyone!

Typically we distribute up to 100 gift bags on Christmas Eve. Any donations from Amazon should be ordered by 12/6/25 to ensure we have enough items in time to put together bags for the holiday. Some organizations may make or purchase donations elsewhere, please communicate with Paula what your organization may be able to do. Our Board of Directors will be putting the bags together on 12/16/25.

Your generous support is immensely appreciated!

We dedicate ourselves to serving the poor, elderly, and families in need. Since 1995, we’ve stood as a beacon of hope in the Lowell community, providing hot meals and support to everyone facing food insecurity. During these challenging times, we’ve seen an increase from 23,255 meals served in 2023 to 28,726 in 2024. This 24% increase in one year is a silent alarm, so now more than ever, we must take action. Meals are prepared by our team of generous supporters, including non-profit organizations, houses of worship, and local businesses. Special Thank You to The Cummings Foundation For Making Us Their Newest Recipient For 2025!

Mission Statement:

At St. Paul’s Kitchen, we live out the teachings of the Bible by serving hot meals – free of charge and with dignity – to those in the Greater Lowell area facing economic, social, mental, or spiritual challenges. Join us in making a difference – volunteer, donate, and support our mission in serving the Lowell community. We always need an extra hand to prepare meals, serve dinner, or clean up. Additionally, volunteers can help uplift our guests with kindness and compassion. Many of our volunteers find the experience so rewarding that, as a result, they return week after week and year after year. In fact, their ongoing commitment helps us sustain our mission and grow stronger as a community.
