Thank you to the members of the Forest City Education Association for your hours of work and organization, and to the Forest City Community School District for helping in this endeavor and allowing us to provide a safe way to hand out the gifts to families.

We had such an overwhelming response, we were even able to save some of the funds to help families in need year round.

Extra thanks to Lichtsinn RV, Mercy Family Clinic - Forest City, Forest City Rotary Club, and Holland Contracting Corp for partnering with us again this year.

A HUGE thank you to everyone ages 3 to 93 who helped make this year’s Giving Tree another great success. We were able to provide 191 kids in our community with gifts of toys, clothing, and gift cards. Over $2,000 was also donated to help purchase toys and late tags that came in
