THE GIVING TREE
Millcreek Township is once again sponsoring a Giving Tree this Holiday Season !
Around Thanksgiving , a Christmas Tree will appear in the lobby of the Millcreek Township Municipal Building . Along with twinkling lights and shiny ornaments , this tree will be decorated with goodwill . The Giving Tree will be adorn with envelopes that are filled with a tag of an individual child or an envelope with tags of an entire family in need of extra support from their community during this holiday season . The Township works with the guidance counselors at each of our school district ’ s elementary schools to help compile the
recipients of our Giving Tree . Each tag contains information regarding the child ’ s gender , age , clothing size and a small wish list .
We encourage anyone with the means to consider sponsoring a child or family from our Giving Tree and making it part of your holiday this year . The Giving Tree can be a great way for families , neighbors , coworkers , or friends to get in the holiday spirit while giving back to the less fortunate youth in our community .
To participate , a sponsor is welcome to come into the Township Building , located at 3608 West 26th Street , select an envelope from the tree and purchase gifts for the child / family . The Township asks that the wrapped and labeled gifts or gift cards be returned to the Township Building no later than Wednesday , December 15th .
Thank you in advance for all the support and making our Giving Tree a success once again !
