Giving tree is now up




It’s not too early to begin thinking about the holidays. The Roadrunner last year revived a longtime tradition in our office: The Giving Tree. We would like your help in bringing holiday cheer to children in the Valley who may not get gifts any other way.

This week we set up a tree in the lobby and began getting it ready for the “ornaments” that will have the age and gender of children from needy families. Local people and service clubs will be able to pick up tree “decorations” that have a child’s gender and age, and return with a wrapped gift for that child.

The Roadrunner obtained 200 names of eligible needy children from the school district and other organizations.

Each year the Giving Tree helps to bring holiday cheer to many children. Hometown residents are welcome to assist by stopping by to get information to buy a holiday gift for one of the children. It is difficult to describe the joy in the eyes of small children as they collect their gifts—youngsters who might never get a gift due to their family’s circumstances.

Just so you know ahead of time, we will need all gifts wrapped (except stuffed animals) and returned before December 13 so we can ensure they are delivered before Christmas. Call The Roadrunner at 760-749-1112 with any questions.
