The Giving Tree
Around Thanksgiving, a Christmas Tree will appear in the lobby of the Millcreek
Township Building. Along with twinkling lights and shiny ornaments, this tree
will be decorated with goodwill. The Giving Tree once again will offer Millcreek
Township residents a chance to help those who are less fortunate this holiday
season. The children and families submitted for our tree come from our
community, as the names are collected from our Millcreek’s public elementary
schools. These families have reached out for help and support from their
community as they are struggling and cannot afford Christmas gifts for their
children. Approximately 200 tags will adorn the tree that lists the gender,
age, clothing sizes, and a wish list for the child recipient. There will also be
envelopes holding the information for the families with multiple children
for anyone wishing to sponsor those families. Make this a new tradition
by joining together with neighbors or extended family members to
add to your holiday festivities this year. Please consider stopping by
the Township Building this holiday season to support an individual
or family. To participate, simply select a tag or envelope from the
tree, shop for that individual, and return the wrapped gifts with
the identifying tags to the Millcreek Municipal Building by
Wednesday, December 11, 2019.
