"Bringing Joy to Families in Need this Holiday Season"

Overview: Join us in making a difference! We are excited to bring back our Annual Giving Tree Campaign, for a second year! This is a heartfelt initiative to provide gifts to families in need in our community. Help us spread joy by nominating families and adopting families to make this season truly special.

How It Works:

  1. Adopt a Family - Open your heart and bring joy by adopting a family. You’ll receive a wish list to fulfill their holiday dreams.
  2. Nominate Family - If you are having a hard time this season and would like assistance making this holiday season special, please fill out this form. 
  3. Give a Donation - Can’t adopt a family? Consider donating toward gifts and essentials. Donations can be dropped off at The Sonnentag.

Contact Us: For questions or more details, please reach out to Sharlae Vanis.
