If you look at the Angel Tree in the office, you can see that there are many tags left. To help, simply take a tag off of the tree and go to a local store to look for the item on the list. The great thing about the tree is that all the presents are very budget friendly.
Another great thing about the Angel Tree is that you can see the age and gender of the child or adult you will be purchasing for. This makes the present feel more personal and can give you a better outlook when purchasing the gift. Though you don’t receive the name of the recipient, you could still make a festive card wishing them a happy holiday. Once you are done with buying the gift just take it back down to Student Services with the tag you picked.
This is a great way to get in the holiday spirit and help people in need during this holiday season. Evaluate your own situation and if you find yourself in a position where you can give, please take that opportunity.
