The Giving Tree

The Caring Center Giving Tree    

Giving Teens a Better Christmas

   
Beginning November 21, a Christmas tree in the narthex will display tags for your selection. Each tag has gift suggestions for a teenager in need - this is the only collection for teens in Boone County!

Please choose one or more tags and shop with your family (children love to be involved with giving to others), then, return the gifts UNWRAPPED (tags attached) and place items in the bins in the narthex OR drop them off to the Caring Center Truck in our parking lot the weekends of Nov. 28/29 and Dec. 5/6. Click here to help on the truck.

Dec. 6 is the deadline for dropping items off.

If you prefer contact-free shopping...go to thecaringcenter.net and click on "events."  Under "Teen Giving Tree," click on "Amazon shopping list." You may order from Amazon most of the items listed on the Giving Tree tags, and have them mailed directly to The Caring Center at 1230 Ransdell Court, Lebanon, Indiana.

Your gifts make a big difference in the lives of the families we help. Thank you for your generosity. 

Suggested gift items include: Axe gift sets; colognes or perfume sets; electronics; headphones; ear buds; sports equipment; watches; wristlet wallets or purses; Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty or other fidgets or brain teaser puzzles for stress relief; pants, shirts, socks, pajamas, underwear, hoodies, sweat pants, robes, slippers, logo-wear, coats, hats, gloves, boots, etc. (Clothing should be junior or adult-size. There is a greater need for extra-large or larger sizes).

Donations of gift wrap, ribbons, bows, and Scotch tape are also needed.

If you need help or would like to help, contact Sue Bowron-White at outreach@zionsvillecatholic.com. Thank you for your generosity!
