Go to peopleincfr.org/donate/ and click on “2020 Giving Tree." One of the holiday traditions at People Incorporated is the “Giving Tree.” Each year employees, our board, and community members would go to a tree set up at one of our sites and take an ornament that matched a child in our programs and then purchase a gift to be distributed to the families. This year, we cannot host the Giving Tree in the usual manner due to the pandemic, so we plan to support these deserving children through a virtual version of the Giving Tree. Will you help a child this year? The Giving Tree allows us to reach those who need us most, especially during a uniquely difficult year. Thank you!
