Giving Tree
Give a Needy Family a Christmas to Remember!
“Giving Tree, centering on the “Tree of Giving”, your unwrapped, donated “new gifts”, such as toys, games, or clothing, can be brought to either Feed My People office. Our clients come in all ages and sizes, so donate what YOU would like to give.”
Our client families will “shop” during the two weeks before Christmas. Please bring your donations to either Feed My People location between November 1 and December 15. Donations gratefully accepted at the “drop off” dock, Monday thru Saturday, 8:30am-3pm. Please tag your donated items “For Giving Tree Program”. Thank You!
