Giving Tree 2024
The Giving Tree is a way to minister to families who are in financial need around the holidays by providing gifts through the Spirit of Christmas program. Spirit of Christmas aids the community by taking applications from families, recording wish lists of needs/gift ideas, and supplying area businesses and churches with the tags identifying those items. Then they collect and distribute the gifts to the families.
To participate, look for the Christmas tree in the lobby and:
Choose a tag from it & sign your name to the corresponding number.
Purchase some or all of the requested items on the tag.
Return the gifts unwrapped. Due date is November 27.
