What is a Giving Tree?

A giving tree is an opportunity for community members to help nearly 7,000 local children who receive gifts through Hopelink’s Giving Rooms. Host-ing a holiday giving tree at your business or o�ce to collect these gifts is a simple, creative, and tangible way to help out families in need in your community. Hopelink can provide hang-able gift tags and suggested items for di�erent age groups, or you can create your own tags. You can display the tags as ornaments on your giving tree in a common space, or do something new and creative with them that inspires the holiday spirit.
