Our Mission

Donated Space

Each year, our warehouse is generously donated by individuals or corporations in our community. We need more than 100,000 sq. ft. to process 60,000 gifts in December and over 20,000 sq.ft. to distribute 15,000 backpacks in August. Donors make drop offs, volunteers help set up and process and then our recipients come to pick up. A bustling warehouse in full swing is a sight to see!

History

Technology Makeover

If you've ever volunteered at our warehouse, you know what it takes to receive and process more than 60,000 gifts and 15,000 backpacks. In an effort to streamline this process and bring the Family Giving Tree up to date with the latest in technology, we've begun preparations for technological enhancements that will maximize the efficiency of warehouse operations. Check out our Implementation Plan for more information.

Feed the Elves

Every year there are wonderful people that bring food to keep the elf staff going. We'd like to organize this a little so that we can fully appreciate each delicious and nutritious meal, so please sign up here if you'd like to bring food for the elves.

Thanks for warming our bellies!
