Christmas Giving Trees at Southwood

Giving Trees are up in the narthex, filled with Christmas wishes from our Mission Partners and Southwood families. By taking a tag from the trees at Southwood or online, you can fulfill a wish and brighten Christmas for a child, a woman escaping abuse, or a family going through crisis.

Online tags are available at:  Online Giving Trees

Bring your new, unwrapped gift (include original Giving Tree tag) or have it shipped directly to Southwood by Sunday, December 8.
