Giving Tree Project 2025 is COMPLETE! 🎁🎄

This year, we were able to bless 31 families in our community with a combined total of 380 gifts, toiletry items, and gift cards to either Bronson's Marketplace or Krause's SuperValu.

A huge thank you to the FBLA students from Hazen High School for their hard work on Sunday evening with wrapping, tagging, and sorting all the gifts. You did an amazing job! 👏

We’re also incredibly grateful to our staff and community members for donating funds and purchasing gifts for our Giving Tree families. Your generosity truly made this project a success!

Together, we’ve made the season brighter for so many! 🎅✨
