Benefiting the Homeless community

Join us by creating special handmade holiday cards with encouraging messages. This is a great kitchen table activity that will spark conversation with your children.

Project of the Month

 Dignity Bag

Simple items we might take for granted keep us healthy and feeling good about ourselves. The items in this dignity bag are a reminder to those in need that we ‘see you’ and ‘someone thought of you today’. People treated with dignity feel respected and worthy.

This project comes with an educational spotlight and talking points to spark discussion with your kids. 

National Gratitude Month

At The Giving Tree, we believe gratitude grows when it’s shared. November offers the perfect opportunity to help children pause, reflect, and recognize the good around them.

Acts of appreciation help build empathy and kindness in our young citizens.

This month, we invite families to celebrate Gratitude Month by taking small, meaningful actions together.

Check out our list of Ways to Celebrate Gratitude Month with Kids and discover simple ideas to spark thankful hearts all month long.
