The 2015 Holiday Sharing Tree season marks 30 years of giving!
The Holiday Sharing Tree began 30 years ago, in 1985. At that time 182 families were provided gifts. That number has escalated rapidly and currently approximately 900 families or 3,300 individuals are being helped. Since 1985 the Holiday Sharing Tree has provided over 55,000 gifts to individuals. For most, these are the only gifts they receive during the holiday season.
Thank you to all our volunteers and corporate sponsors for assisting us with
30 Years of Giving.
