We're (sort of) Famous! 

Since The Giving Tree started in 2009, hundreds and hundreds of people, including many of you, have been involved in our organization spreading so much goodness and awesomeness in the community. We thought it was time to tell the world! Special thanks to Japhy Creative and ZYGR INsites for all of their hard work!  Our video is now up live on YouTube! Check it out!

 National Military Appreciation Month
 
National Military Appreciation Month is celebrated every May and is a declaration that encourages U.S. citizens to say thank you.  Thank you to the men and women who serve and to their families for sacrifice so much.  Hand written notes and cards of gratitude from kids is a great way to say 'thank you'.  Click below for some ideas of what to write in your card.

National Older Americans Month

Older Americans Month is an annual event dating back to 1963, when President John F. Kennedy designated May as Senior Citizens Month. It's a time to honor older Americans and celebrate their contributions to our communities and our nation.  Click below for some great projects to recognize and lift the spirits of our elderly friends.

Kindness in Action 

Arcola Intermediate School
A group of students from Arcola Intermediate school in Eagleville created 50 Peace & Smiles Boxes ® at a recent event at the school.  These boxes will be delivered to pediatric patients in various hospitals in the area.  Thanks to the group for spreading Peace & Smiles to so many!  Great job Arcola! 
 
Cereal Box Collection 
Jonah knows how important our Peace & Smiles Boxes ® are for children in need and kids in the hospital.  So he and his mom have made it their mission to collect cereal boxes for The Giving Tree.  Well over a hundred as a matter of fact! 
Way to go Jonah!
