McDonogh’s Holiday Project began in 1990 and partnered with St. Gregory’s Church in Baltimore. It initially sponsored 25 families and eventually included as many as 140, with gifts for the families’ children and fixings for a holiday dinner plus. Every year McDonogh took pride in gift-wrapping, assembling, and delivering everything for the families, with no family ever once being missed. The delivery flotilla of cars, vans, and trucks was always a sight to behold.
