Holiday Giving Tree - Help Area Homeless Women & Children

November-December
The Home of the Sparrow Holiday Giving Tree will be in the library’s lobby starting in mid-November. The American Association of University Women (AAUW) coordinates the Giving Tree program and forwards the donations to the Home of the Sparrow, a nonprofit organization that serves homeless women and children in McHenry County. Grab a tag off the tree, purchase the gift and return it unwrapped to the Circulation Desk by Dec. 30. Each tag has a QR code that you can scan and go directly to an Amazon wish list to purchase a gift. Amazon will then deliver the gift directly to the Home of the Sparrow headquarters.
