Giving Tree
Our 2nd Annual Giving Tree kicks off on Saturday, November 30 at 9:00am. We will be looking for some volunteers to help set up the Giving Tree display at Moosup’s Rotary Park in downtown Moosup, as well as prep packages for future refills.
Remember, you don’t have to be homeless to have a need, and this tree can help everyone who just needs a little something to warm them up on the outside and what better way for you to warm up on the inside than to help donate time or needed materials?! We will collecting donations of clean and gently used or new hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, and blankets for the Tree as we will be refilling through January 2025.
