Give a Gift to a Foster Child Through Nevada County’s Giving Tree Program
Nevada County Child Welfare Services’ annual Giving Tree Program is in full swing for the holiday season. Want to help make the holidays a little more special for local foster children? Participate by stopping by one of the seven Giving Tree locations, pick up a tag with a foster child’s age, gender, and wishes, and return unwrapped gifts to Giving Tree locations by December 19th. The program also accepts donations of gift cards for gas and groceries for young adults.
“We are grateful to our Nevada County community who supports this program and our foster children every year,” said Nick Ready, Child Welfare Program Manager. “We have many partners that help make this program possible, from local businesses to nonprofits and community groups. We’re also excited to expand the program this year with two new locations in Truckee.”
