For the 26th year, through generous donations from our community members, St Mary’s Health Foundation is sponsoring the Christmas “Angel Tree” which helps match generous donors with those in need of gifts and/or warm clothes for children newborn through 12^th grade.
Individuals in need are encouraged to call Jessica Stewart, Kristi Holthaus, or Brianne Thomason, project coordinators, at 208-962-3251.  They will confidentially record the child’s name, age, gender, clothing sizes and gift requests.  All requests must be made by December 1st.
All requested gifts and food baskets (if needed from the food bank) will be distributed before Christmas Eve at 423 Main Street, Cottonwood (the old Harman Agency office) next to Schlader Photography.  In conjunction, the Cottonwood Food Bank volunteers prepare food boxes for “Angel Tree” families as well as elderly residents in the community. 
Requests for food boxes should be directed to Donna Quick at 208-962-3251. The holidays can be difficult when there are financial strains and we want to do our part in easing those burdens through the Angel Tree. 
Our community has always been very generous and we appreciate the opportunity to facilitate happier holidays for our neighbors. 
Those willing to help can send a financial contribution to “Angel Tree Project,” c/o St. Mary’s Hospital, PO Box 137, Cottonwood, ID 83522.
