THE 2021 theme for the
Annual Giving Tree Project is


The Giving Tree Service Project was first started in 2002 by the Catholic Campus Center at Washburn University. This project was put in place to help benefit the children of Topeka who are in need during the holiday season. The children range in ages from newborn to 12 years old.
 

This project offers Washburn students, faculty, and staff the opportunity to come to the assistance of area children and their families during the holiday season.

On November 5th, the Giving Trees will go up in the following locations:  the Alpha Phi House, God's Bods Catholic Campus Center at WU (17^th and Jewell), Honors Program, Leadership Institute, Nursing Department. Residential Living: The LLC, Lincoln and The Village, and SRWC.

We ask participants to pick a tag for either a boy or girl, or if they wish two or more, then return the unwrapped gift(s) with the angel tag attached to the gift to one of the locations listed above before noon on Friday, December 3rd.
IF you are unable to stop by to pick up a tag, please purchase an item of clothing or a toy for a boy or girl ages infant through age 12 and drop it off at one of the locations. 

The organizations we are contributing to have requested that we do not wrap the gifts. The gifts received will be delivered to Let’s Help, Door Step, and The Topeka Rescue Mission on December 6^th. Thank you for opening your hearts to the area children of Topeka, Kansas during this most blessed season
