The Giving Tree
The SMCC Giving Tree, sponsored by Phi Theta Kappa, is a
community service project and holiday tradition that provides gifts for the
children of SMCC students. This year, we are supporting three families from the SMCC community. The wishes are from the children of these 3 different families.
Helping out is easy. Select an ornament from the tree (located
in the South Portland Campus Center), purchase the item, and bring the
unwrapped item to the CeSIL office (Campus Center room 105).
**The deadline to participate is rapidly approaching ~ Friday, December 13th.**
Each ornament holds a child’s wish.
Thank you for your
generosity!
