This year’s giving tree offers five opportunities to donate to needy neighbors:

$25 toward the purchase of Safeway gift cards for low-income families at area elementary schools and Head Start classrooms. DONATE to “Tree-Safeway.”

$30 toward the purchase of Christmas gifts for children whose families depend on the free Saturday lunch in White Center. DONATE to “Tree-Children.”

$40 toward the purchase of Goodwill gift cards to help an Afghan family resettling here. DONATE to “Tree-Afghan.”

$45 toward the purchase of twin electric blankets to warm Camp Second Chance residents. DONATE to “Tree-Blanket.”

$60 toward “winterizing” Camp Second Chance residents with new coats, shoes, caps, and socks. DONATE to “Tree-Winter.”

To keep things simple this hybrid year, we ask that you donate funds only; someone will do the shopping for you. If you don’t wish to donate online, you may put a check or cash in the offering plate or mail a check to the church using the “for” designations above.

To turn your gift into a Christmas or birthday “gift from the heart” to honor a loved one, click HERE to print full-color and color-your-own cards for this purpose.

Thank you for making your gift by Sunday, Dec. 12.
