Last year, it served 179 families, including 457 children, according to project volunteer Judy Jett, an employee of the Central Missouri Credit Union. The program involves the placement of Christmas trees at key locations around Warrensburg. Based on information provided by families, tags are placed on each tree anonymously representing a family member and that individual's needs and wishes. People can then chose one or more these individuals they want to sponsor for the holiday season. Jett said the book donation helps expand the parameters of this year's project.
People often think only about giving toys.
Angel Trees can be found at the Central Missouri Credit Union, Walmart, Catholic Church, and Warrensburg Books and Toys.
