Tis the season to be jolly, and what better way than to help others in our community! We are gratefully accepting donations of new and unopened items, such as diapers, baby formula, clothing, toys, small household items, etc. These will be distributed via a "giving tree" that will be set up at the Baldwin Boettcher Library. 

Those in need of something from the tree will bring us a leaf from it that lists an available item and will be able to leave with the real item in hand. There will be a limit of 1 item per family per week.
