SHARING LOVE - An Annual Gift Giving Celebration

Clay's Christmas trees of Love is an annual gift giving celebration that provides presents to hundreds of children in the South Bend area.  In partnership with Sidewalk Sunday School and Harrison School, Christmas Trees of Love helps bring joy to some of the children that we minister to throughout the year.

SIMPLE ACTS OF KINDNESS - Bringing Joy to Children

The process is actually quite simple.  All someone has to do is select a tag from the Christmas tree, shop for a $20 gift and then place the wrapped gift under the tree.   The tags are located on a Christmas tree at our Clay North and South facilities starting in mid-November every year.  Each tag lists a child's gender, age and gift suggestion.  We encourage individuals to take as many tages as they wish and to involve family and friends in the process.  Wrapped presents are returned in early December, sorted and then delivered to the parents of the children to be given by them at Christmas.

SERVE - Looking For A Service Opportunity?

Christmas Trees of Love is an annual event.  If you did not have the privilege to participate this year, consider involving yourself and your family in 2009.  Always remember that the truth is, "whatever you did for one of the the least of these brothers (yes, this includes children) of mine, you did for me."  Jesus as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew
