Over 1,200 gifts are donated each Christmas and the Sharing Tree Ministry organizes them for presentation and delivery to various agencies and groups. Included in these groups are neglected children, disabled children, elderly patients, and the poor.
 
HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

1. Take a tag(s) from one of the trees.
2. RECORD YOUR NAME and PHONE NUMBER in the LOG BOOK that corresponds to the organization and number on the tag.(Volunteers with clipboards will also be available before and after Masses to help capture your information).
3. The tags will specify whether or not to WRAP the gifts.Some gifts CANNOT be wrapped! Please place these in a holiday gift bag.
4. All NEW gifts MUST have the tags securely attached when returned so they get to the right organization.
5. RETURN THE GIFTS to the UPPER CDC (not the church) by the date specified.

We always need volunteers for the delivery of gifts!  The sign-up poster boards will specify a time and if a personal visit is part of the delivery.  The poster boards are located near the trees in the narthex.

The Angel Tree Program is a part of Prison Ministry. Angel Tree, in conjunction with Sharing Tree, visit children of prisoners with two gifts and the message of Christmas hope.

To purchase presents for the children, please keep watch for the tags on the trees in the Narthex of the Church as Christmas approaches.
