The Giving Tree in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania...
I participated in my church, LCBC's, Giving Tree this year. The tree is covered with ornaments from local organizations who sponsor children and families at Christmastime.
My ornaments were from the organizations "Help Ministry", "Firm Foundation" and "YWCA". I have purchased, clothing, towels and educational toys for the families.
2011 Giving Tree Organizations:
Firm Foundation of PA http://www.firmfoundation.org/
Bridge of Hope Harrisburg http://bridgeofhope-hbg.org/
The Bair Foundation http://www.bair.org/
The Center for Champions http://www.centerforchampions.org/
Interfaith Shelter http://www.interfaithshelter.org/
Help Ministry http://www.waterstreetministries.org/home.aspx
The YWCA Greater Harrisburg http://www.ywcahbg.org/
I love this time of year because it is a time of GIVING and giving back to my community is something I enjoy doing.
It was awesome this past Sunday morning to see the tree empty of all ornaments and FULL of gifts for needy local families. We are truly blessed.
