Helping Families w/ the Holidays
This year, we are supporting families from our Center, an APS Charter school, and a number of families from the Mary Ann Binford Elementary School. We are excited to be reaching out to help the holidays be a better time for each of these families. Also this year, we will be back to the time- honored tradition of taking tags from the tree in the
Social Hall at our Center!
Instructions and Contacts
When you take a tag, please sign up on the sign-up list next to the tree.
If you want a tag and do not feel comfortable going into the Center, Julie Stoffler will pick one with/for you. Just give her a call at 505 363-4449. You may also make a monetary donation to the Center and we will do the shopping for you! Please specify that it is for Michelle’s Giving Tree.
All gifts with the recipient’s name and the gift number need to be returned to RGCSL no later than Sunday, December 12th! We know that many folks are still not excited to go out to shop at this time, so we encourage you to think about shopping early and online. We are excited about this wonderful way to GIVE this holiday season and hope you will join us for this meaningful project!
