Holiday Giving Tree seeking donated Christmas gifts for those in need; 100 tags still remaining

November 22, 2019

The Marquette community is encouraged to participate in this year’s Holiday Giving Tree, which provides gifts for those who might otherwise not receive anything for Christmas.

This year, there is a special need for gifts going to Eras Senior Network, an organization that supports adults and seniors with disabilities.

To participate, request a “gift tag.” Gift tags list the age of the recipient and three gift wishes. You can choose which wish to fulfill. The recommended price range of gifts is $20-$25. There are more than 100 wish tags left to fulfill.

If you or your department would like to sign up, registration is available online. 

The Eventbrite only allows one ticket/registration per individual. Once you click “register,” you can select your desired number of tags and/or sign up to volunteer. Once request is received, a follow-up email will be sent with tag information Marquette receives from United Way. The follow-up email will include information regarding when gifts are due and who to contact if you are willing to volunteer to wrap, sort, and/or deliver gifts. 

Contact Karina Mendoza, office assistant in the Center for Teaching and Learning, with questions.  

About the Holiday Giving Tree
For more than 30 years, the Nonprofit Center of Milwaukee has led the Holiday Giving Tree project, which ensures hundreds of community members feel loved during the holiday season. Since 2018, United Way manages this program, matching nonprofit agency clients with groups and workplaces looking to purchase gifts and spread cheer.
