Do I need to purchase all of the gifts listed on my Giving Tree ornament?

We ask that you do purchase all or most of the gifts listed. Many of the students are from the same families, and it can be difficult when one child receives less than the other(s).

I don't think I can financially cover the costs of gifts for The Giving Tree. What else can I do?

Please consider volunteering or leading in The Giving Tree. Meetings will be announced in the bulletin and stage announcements and will cover the positions needed to be filled. Also, consider putting together a food basket for one of The Giving Tree families.

I mentor a child through Communities In Schools and I would love to be able to support them in this. Is there a way I can "pick" them?

Unfortunately you will not be able to pick the child that you want to support due to legal and philosophical reasons. The Giving Tree is a way for us to help empower the parents as they will be the ones to give the gifts to their children. The children will not know that the gifts did not come from their parents, and this is why we must attain anonymity.
