Giving Tree

In winter of 2007, the Student Volunteer Center held its first Giving Tree Drive. Through the Giving Tree drive, the Student Volunteer Center was able to deliver hundreds of gifts to the children of New Horizons School for homeless children. These gifts included a heavy jacket, multiple sweatshirts, a blanket, multiple sets of long sleeved shirts and pants, a toy, and under garments. Everyone’s participation in the Giving Tree drive helped make the lives of children from New Horizon’s more joyful during the winter holiday. The Student Volunteer Center looks forward to working with more organizations and touching the lives of even more children in the second annual Giving Tree this winter.

This winter SVC is collaborating with New Horizon’s School and the Walnut Avenue Women’s Center to outfit our trees with ornaments for children who are in need this holiday season.

For a list of tree locations, or to sign up to receive information on a child who needs a gift this holiday please contact US at volunteer@ucsc.edu.
