The annual campaign embraces the season of giving by offering the public an opportunity to donate a gift to a young person in the local area, who might otherwise not receive anything this Christmas.

Customers are asked to take a tag from the tree located at the Customer Service Desk which contains a child’s age and gender, buy a gift and return the unwrapped gift and tag back to the Customer Service Desk.
