Still time to help brighten local children's Christmas through Giving Tree effort

Monday, December 3, 2012

If you or your office has not yet had the opportunity to sponsor a Putnam County Giving Tree family, it is not too late.

With just under two weeks to go for gift collection, almost 500 gift tags remain unclaimed. The public's help is needed to put gifts under the tree for local children.

If you would be willing to sponsor one or more families (you would receive three gift tags for each child in the family), contact Ruth Myers at 720-1739 or via email at rmyers@depauw.edu.

Persons may specify the amount they are able to contribute/number of tags they are able to support.

Tags and families will be assigned accordingly.

A member of the Giving Tree team will deliver gift tags to your office, and will return to pick up the gifts when notified they have been purchased. All gifts must be at the Giving Tree post by Dec. 11.

Additionally, if you are a member of a group, team or organization that would be willing to help, the Giving Tree team will work with you to get tags delivered and gifts returned.
