The Festival of Trees may have wrapped up last year, but planning for this year's event is just getting started at the Senior Resource Center!

If you or someone you know is interested in donating your gently used holiday decorations we will gladly take them. Think of those ornaments gathering dust in your attic or basement as valuable gifts to SRC that can spark joy and delight to our volunteer tree decorators during next year's event. One person’s unused or unwanted decorations could be another’s holiday inspiration!

Let us know in advance if you would like to drop them off when the Senior Resource Center is open or if you need someone to make a pick up.

Thank you in advance for your continuing support.
