GIVING TREE” at Library will again provide
gifts for senior citizens 2024
South
Davidson Family Resource Center and Denton Public Library will again share a Christmas project this year! The “GIVING
TREE”, which focuses on helping provide gifts for senior citizens in our community during the holiday season.
Applications for placing senior citizens on The Giving Tree can be submitted Oct 21st until
the cut-off date of Dec 2nd. Sign-up times will be 8:30AM to 11:30AM on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at the South Davidson
Family Resource Center. Information about requesting help can be obtained by calling (336) 859-5399 or by visiting
the South Davidson Family Resource Center at 292 S. Main St.
The “GIVING
TREE”, located at the Denton Library, will have heads that will be number coded, instead of using names, and have information
about a person including specific needs. Individuals and families who would like to “adopt” one or more
of these seniors and provide gifts for them may visit the library to pick up a head, beginning October 21st. They will then
be responsible for buying needed items and gifts for that senior, wrapping the gifts, labeling them with the number
code, and taking the items to the library during normal operating hours by Dec 9th.
Gifts must be picked up by the recipient at Larry Furr’s or Mitchell Oil Co. on highway 109 South on Saturday,
Dec 14th from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
Lunch will be served from 10:00 am
till 12:00 pm. Please call the center to sign up. If not open leave a voice message. Plates will be limited, so please
sign up by Dec. 9th.
You do not have to be on The Giving Tree to come for lunch.
For more information about the “GIVING TREE”, or if you have questions, please call the South Davidson
Family Resource Center at (336) 859-5399.
