Throughout the holiday season, My Edmonds News will be highlighting charitable organizations or activities that we hope our readers will consider funding as a way of “giving back” to the community.
Tags still remain on the City of Edmonds-sponsored Giving Trees at Edmonds City Hall or the Frances Anderson Center — and the deadline to return gifts is Friday, Dec. 12.
The tags are provided by Volunteers of America Western Washington and the gifts will be donated to local children and adults who need your help to make this holiday season a little brighter. Volunteers of America has been working to provide vital services to the most vulnerable in Western Washington since 1898.
The city says that 18 tags are still available on the City Hall giving tree and about 30 on the Frances Anderson Center giving tree. Giving is easy: Simply select a tag with the name of a person in need and their gift suggestion. Purchase a gift and return the wrapped gift to either location by Dec. 12. Edmonds City Hall is located at 121 5th Ave. N. and the Frances Anderson Center is located at 700 Main St.
