Giving Tree

ESPAÑOL 513-490-2834

Our Giving Tree program is way to offer support for families who may need a helping hand during the holiday season. This program not only provides tangible support but also fosters a sense of belonging and connection. Together, we can help all families celebrate the holidays with hope and joy.

In 2024, the Giving Tree program supported 80 families including 241 children.

Families

If you are a family in the local Down syndrome community and need assistance this holiday season, please consider registering for the Giving Tree program. All children in a family unit (18 years old and younger) and adults with Down syndrome are eligible to receive gifts from sponsors valued at $50 - $60 per person (no electronics or bicycles, please). You will have the opportunity to share gift suggestions and clothing sizes for your child(ren). Eligible families must have a child or adult with Down syndrome and live in the DSAGC twelve-county area.

We are partnering with Saint Vincent DePaul to offer free new or gently used coats for children in our Giving Tree program. Vouchers will be given and families can shop at their local SVDP store for the coat(s). 

Please note, your information will be kept confidential and only seen by the Giving Tree committee. Your gifts will be available for pick up at the DSAGC Office during the dates below. Registration closes before Thanksgiving. If you are looking for assistance after Thanksgiving, please contact Maggie Ranz at MaggieR@dsagc.com or 513-761-5400.
