This program could not exist without the generosity of people like you who make up our great community. Thank you.
We are now collecting Giving Tree applications!
Email thecommunitygivingtree@gmail.com and specify:
If you are a business or an individual. (All are welcome!)
If you are a business, would you like a mini tree and gift tags to display for staff/community members to select from?
What size family (how many children) you would like to sponsor?
Each child has a wish list of 6 gifts. Sponsoring a family of 3 would mean being responsible for the purchase/collection of 18 gifts.
There are families of 1!
If you want to help but aren't sure you could afford a whole child or family on your own....get a few friends/coworkers/family members together to purchase gifts for a child or a family to help share the cost!
Drop off for purchased gifts will be December 7th & 8th at the Fryeburg Fairgrounds.
All gifts must be dropped off within this window to be checked by our volunteers for accuracy and picked up by families December 9th & 10th.
We have been made aware of some local businesses and stores who will offer our sponsors/shoppers discounts on purchases for The Community Giving Tree if you show your list. Below is a list of businesses that we have confirmed will offer a discount, please consider shopping at these locations.
Email thecommunitygivingtree@gmail.com if you would like to:
Help verify and organize gifts on collection day(s).
Volunteer to be a last-minute shopper.
Join our organization.
or simply....
Spread the word! Let people know how to sign up or how to donate.
You can send a check made out to The Community Giving Tree, PO Box 443, Fryeburg, ME 04037
May we recommend contributing to the Sunshine Backpack Food Program.
"We believe that no child should be hungry, and we send weekly bags of food home for MSAD 72 district children in need so that they are not hungry during the weekend and vacation weeks. We are a 501(c)(3) so all donations are tax-deductible. Please help us work together in our mission to ensure that NO CHILD IS HUNGRY!"
