The
Family Giving Tree Holiday
Program
works with more than 250
Bay
Area social service agencies. These agencies supply
us with the name and wishes of the children they serve
year-round. These are real children with real wishes,who
would otherwise go without during the holidays. A
wish card is printed for each child, detailing their age,
gender, first name and
their wish for a holiday gift.

Current

various non-profit organizations. Follow this

Holiday Program.
Thank
You Letters
Thank you
letters from the individuals we assist in our community remind
us about the importance of giving. Every year we receive
letters from the people we help letting us know how this program
has affected their lives in a positive way. We recognize
that most donors don't get a chance to see exactly where their
gift goes, so we've collected some of these letters
for you here.
Pictures
from Agencies
Most of
our agenices organize parties for their clients. This gives
them a chance to get together and share in the holiday celebration.
With permission from those in the pictures, we posted some
of them here. The gifts YOU donate make these children
happy all year!
Volunteer
Opportunity
The Family
Giving Tree needs passionate people who want to make a difference
in our community. Help us stay in touch with the agencies and
children we serve. If you would be interested in volunteering
your time to meet with our agency
contacts and ask them a couple of questions, let us know!
