This year the tags will have ages of the children and you can choose to buy gloves, mittens, hat or scarf. (we will be sponsoring infants, toddlers, grade school and middle school children.) Here’s what you do:
- Take a “warming” gift tag (or two!) from the tree
- Return the appropriate glove, hat or scarves for the child age designated
- Return to the tree by Sunday, November 25th.
A donation box will be available in the office as donations are also accepted as CUMAC can always use food. Checks can be made out to CUMC noting Giving Tree in the memo.
