Our giving tree offers five opportunities for you to donate toward basic needs as identified by our homelessness and immigration task forces. You'll find tags on trees in the narthex and lobby through Dec. 11 for these needs:

- winter clothing for Welcome Table guests and Camp Second Chance residents ($20)

- Safeway gift cards for low-income school families ($25)

- food and gifts for asylum-seeking Peruvian families ($30)

- underwear for Welcome Table guests and Camp Second Chance residents (35)

- new shoes for Camp Second Chance residents ($45).

No shopping is required on your part, just a cash donation toward the need of your choice, either online, in the plate, or in the church office. The trees and office also have "Gift from the Heart" cards to present to someone you might wish to honor with your donation.
