It began as an Angel Tree one December, collecting items for a community group. But we realized that this group, and others like it, had needs all year long not only at Christmas. And so was born our Giving Tree. Throughout the year you can support the work of worthy groups by picking a wish-list tag from the Tree.  The list of items are easily found at grocery stores, drug stores and other places frequented during your weekly errands.  Previous Trees have supported education and mentoring, parenting, hunger, eco-stewardship and our troops in Afghanistan. Watch the newsletter, our website and the leaflet for announcements of future Giving Trees: you can be an angel any month of the year!  For information or to share your idea for a future Giving Tree contact Helen Francis.
