The season of gratitude and giving is upon us. The exciting news is that we are able to continue our traditional Giving Tree supporting 5 local agencies. These agencies need our help more than ever and families need our support as they struggle to make life “normal” and survive.
Our Giving Tree decorated with tags is coming back to the foyer of our church! The tree will be up starting November 18. Elves will be on site to help you with questions and selection!
Our 5 chosen agencies are: Friends of Youth, Hopelink, The Sophia Way, Sound Health, and Youth Care. These agencies support youth, families, seniors, and others in need.
You have the option of shopping at a store or shop in the comfort of your home! There are four ways to give. In either case: Step 1: Visit the Giving Tree in the foyer of the church and select a tag. All tags and “gifts” to be returned by December 14. Tags vary in amount of value but are generally $25-$50.
Please stop by the Giving Tree November 18-December 14 and pick up a tag!
- Select a tag from the tree, purchase the gift, attach the tag, and return to ESUC by December 14.
- If you prefer to purchase a Gift Card: Select a tag from the tree that requests a gift card. Return the tag with Gift Card attached to ESUC. The Giving Tree Ministry will sort and deliver to the appropriate agencies.
- If you prefer to donate money: You can give to East Shore online or mail in a check. In both instances, please put “Giving Tree” in the memo line. The money will be distributed evenly between the five agencies. Please note, all donations go to the East Shore Operating Fund to support programs like Giving Tree and more.
This is a great opportunity for family giving! We thank you in advance for your generosity to these people in need.
