Opportunities to Engage

The Giving Tree is a cherished annual holiday tradition where we come together to collect and provide gifts for the families in our programs. These families are working hard toward their goals and long-term stability, and the Giving Tree is one way we show our support and encouragement during the holiday season. With your help, we’re not just spreading holiday cheer—we’re standing beside them as they move forward on their journey to a brighter future.

All families have been sponsored for 2025! Thank you so much for supporting the participants in our community.

We are seeking sponsors to support United Ministries program participants and their families through our Giving Tree programs. By sponsoring a family you are agreeing to provide new gifts for each member of the family based on their submitted wish lists. Gifts should equate to approximately $75-100 / person.

  • Gifts should equate to approximately $75-100 / person, regardless of family size.
  • Gifts should be new and and appropriate based on the family member’s wish list.

    • If you cannot deliver gifts on these dates please contact Quiwanna James to find an alternative date.
