Annual Giving Tree

Ornaments Ready

The Giving Tree will be set up at the Wells Fargo Bank lobby from Nov. 24 to Dec. 22.

Gifts will be given to elders in the Sitka Pioneers Home, Sitka Community Hospital Long-Term Care Unit, and women and children at SAFV and Youth Advocates of Sitka.

Donations of Christmas wrap and tape are appreciated, organizers said. Call Julia Smith, 738-6336, or Lauren Allen, 747-6432, with questions.
