Giving Tree
The Giving Tree supports our homeless and economically disadvantaged SCPS students through donations to SCPS during the holiday season. As we approach the season of giving, SCPS is excited to launch our annual Giving Tree from November 2nd to December 7th, 2026. Last year, thanks to the generosity of our community, we were able to support approximately 1,000 students in need, fulfilling the children’s wishes and making the holidays a little brighter for our families. The Giving Tree is a cherished tradition that brings our community together to support students facing a variety of challenges. We need your help again this year to ensure that all students can experience the joy and magic of the holiday season. Purchasing a toy, gift card, or making a monetary donation provides a little holiday magic for our students in need!
Host a Holiday Toy Drive
Hosting a toy drive within your organization fosters unity and provides a sense of purpose as you work together to make a difference in the life of a child. We’ll help kick-off your organization’s drive, together we can spread the word on social media and feature your organization during the holiday season! Once completed, we will stop by for a hassle-free pick up or schedule a time for you and/or your team to drop off at the Giving Tree Holiday Headquarters at our Educational Support Center and celebrate with a photo opportunity.
Provided: Donation box(es), promotional posters, digital graphics and flyers, a list of suggested gift ideas, and a link to an Amazon Wish List.
