The 4th annual UNM Giving Tree, open to all students, staff, faculty and community members, is set to begin Tuesday, Nov. 28 when participants can pick up a gift tag from the Giving Tree located in the SUB Atrium (Plaza level).
Co-sponsored by the ASUNM Community Experience and the UNM Student Union Building, the Giving Tree benefits underprivileged families and children of New Mexico.
For the event, a ‘Giving Tree’ is setup and decorated in the SUB Atrium. On each ornament is a gift tag providing information about the selected child or family such as age, gender and what they would like or need for Christmas. Gifts must be returned unwrapped to the ASUNM office (SUB Plaza level, rm. 1016) or the Student Resident Center Desk with the gift tag attached by Friday, Dec. 15.
Over the past three years, many different gifts have been donated to New Mexico children and/or families in need during the holiday season. Stop by and pick a gift tag off the Giving Tree and make the holidays brighter for someone in need.
For more information about the Giving Tree call Jacque Garcia, SUB marketing and communication specialist, at 277-2818 or Margi Miranda at 277-0106.
