2023 Gift Drive Campaign
The Giving Tree is still going strong! If you’d like to help make the holidays a little brighter for kids in Lane County, stop by Valley River Center and pick out an ornament this 2023 holiday season.
Last year, we proudly distributed more than 2,300 holiday gifts for children in our community!
Now, in our 22nd year of The Giving Tree, we are happy to continue this incredible tradition in partnership with Valley River Center. The trees in Valley River Center are located inside of the mall entrance between JCPenney and FUJI restaurant, next to the Café Aroma coffee shop.
For 2023, the tree will be up starting Saturday, November 4th and gifts need to be returned by Friday, December 8th. Network members monitor the red bin daily to ensure all donations are received and stored securely.
We also accept financial donations. Each ornament tag is associated with a single child, requested 1-3 gifts, and each gift typically ranges from $15-$30. If you or your company would be interested in donating, you can either:
