This year has brought significant economic challenges to residents in Midland County. Gifts under the tree at Christmas may, unfortunately, not be at the top of the list this year.
We know the joy a child feels when there is a special gift just for them under the tree.
The United Way of Midland County Sharing Tree program helps our community fill the local holiday wishes of those in need. Now in its 21th year, Sharing Tree strives to ensure that every person feels the touch of our caring community this holiday season and throughout the year.
We have to unique opportunities to help meet a targeted needs in Midland County. One of our areas biggest unmet needs is transportation. Requests for gas-only cards and Dial A Ride and County Connection vouchers will help provide the resources for many hard working families and individuals throughout the year.
Transportation tickets can be purchased at Computers To Go in the Midland Mall and the Bean Canteen in the 555 Building.
There are Sharing Tree tags out on trees throughout the community, including area churches, businesses, corporations, and at United Way. The Midland Mall will also have their traditional tree near the information booth.
Wrap the gift so that it can be opened during gift-check in, securely tape the tag to the gift and return your gift to any Sharing Tree location by Saturday December 11th. Gifts will continue to be accepted at United Way right up until Christmas eve.
