Honoring a Tradition — Supporting our Teens 

After many years, we’re proud to bring back the Holiday Giving Tree—inspired by a black-and-white photo shared by Evelyn Wiesner, former Human Services Director and longtime community advocate.

Teens in our community are doing amazing things—working hard, helping others, showing resilience—yet often get overlooked during holiday giving.

 How to Participate:

  • Take a tag from the tree
  • Sign it out at the Main Office
  • Purchase the suggested item(s)
  • Return unwrapped gifts to the main office by the 12/17/25
