University Staff Senate invites the campus community to participate in this year’s Holiday Giving Tree to help provide gifts for those who might otherwise not receive anything for the holidays.
For more than 25 years, Marquette has partnered with United Way to ensure that hundreds of community members feel loved during the holiday season. Marquette will be matched with an agency to support individuals in need.
Those interested in participating should submit their name and email address via the online form by Friday, Nov. 7.
Gift tags will be sent to participants via email by mid-November; tags will include the age of the recipient, the category of gift (clothing, game, book, etc.) and the name of the partnering agency. Each tag is valued at $25.
Last year’s Giving Tree resulted in 340 gifts for those who might otherwise not receive anything for the holidays.
Gifts will be collected from mid-November through mid-December. Gift bags are preferred over wrapping.
Gift drop-off stations will be available in three locations:
- Spirit Shop, coordinated by Tina Aiello
- University Honors Program (Sensenbrenner Hall 002), coordinated by Maria Cooper
- School of Dentistry Room 192, coordinated by Carol Trecek
There will also be a drop-off table at the Christmas Tree Lighting on Tuesday, Dec. 2.
Marquette volunteers will deliver gifts to the agency by Monday, Dec. 15.
