2008
Caring Tree Program
All
supplies collected through this project are distributed by The Caring
Tree through social service agencies who qualify the children in-need.
YOU CAN PARTICIPATE
AT A SHOPPING CENTER:
These
partners work
with social
service agencies to identify local students in-need of assistance in
purchasing back-to-school supplies. Donors can locate The Caring Tree
display where they can "adopt" a student in-need within the community.
Adoption means selecting a Child ID Tag that identifies a child’s age,
sex and grade and includes his or her specific school supply needs.
They
are
under no obligation to purchase all items listed on the Child ID Tag.
They then return the Tag along with supplies purchased for the student
to the same shopping center display from which it was obtained. The
social service agencies anonymously deliver the supplies to the
students in-need.
For a
list of shopping center locations for our upcoming 2008 program, see below.
