This 2020 theme for the Annual Giving Tree Project is Don’t let the GRINCH steal Christmas! The Giving Tree Service Project was first started in 2002 by the Catholic Campus Center at Washburn University. This project was put in place to help benefit the children of Topeka who are in need during the holiday season. The children range in ages from newborn to 12 years old.

This project offers Washburn students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to come to the assistance of area children and their families during the holiday season. This year we have chosen the theme, Don’t let the GRINCH steal Christmas!.

On November 2nd, the Giving Trees will go up in the following locations: Catholic Campus Center at WU (17^th and Jewell), Nursing Department, SRWC. Residential Living: The LLC, Lincoln and The Village.

We ask participants to pick a tag for either a boy or girl, or if they wish two or more, then return the unwrapped gift(s) with the angel tag attached to the gift to one of the locations listed above before noon on Friday, November 13th.

The organizations we are contributing to have requested that we do not wrap the gifts. The gifts received will be delivered to Let’s Help, Door Step, and The Topeka Rescue Mission on December 6^th. Thank you for opening your hearts to the area children of Topeka, Kansas during this most blessed season
