Each year, we hold our annual Giving Tree ceremony right after the Thanksgiving Holiday.This ceremony kicks off the holiday season by helping us remember what the Christmas season is all about. Each year our Giving Tree collects about 400 to 450 gifts. The gifts are then divided up and given to 3 different organizations for the less fortunate. These organizations include the Salvation Army, Hannah’s Treasure Chest, and an individual person who works with her Church in West Dayton to help families. The impact of the Giving Tree is special. We thank all those who helpdonate gifts for this cause. We ask that gifts to support the Giving Tree effort be received by Tuesday, December 12th. The generosity of the Alter Community never ceases to amaze!
