This year marks the 22nd consecutive year of the NBC2’s and Perkins' Restaurant and Bakery Giving Tree Program . The Knights of Columbus are once again ready to assume a leadership role in the organization of gift request, organizing volunteers for gift pick up and sorting and facilitating the distribution of gifts from San Carlos Self Storage.
The NBC2 Giving Tree is a one-of-a-kind program that reaches out to Southwest Florida seniors, living alone, in assisted living facilities or nursing homes, who otherwise may not receive a gift during the holiday season. Specially tagged NBC2 Giving Trees are placed in all participating area Perkins Restaurants throughout Charlotte, Lee and Collier Counties the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and stay up for two weeks. During this time residents of Southwest Florida are invited to take a tag from the tree, buy and wrap the requested gift and return it to any area Perkins restaurant by a selected date.
Through the giving portion of the program, volunteers visit the restaurants to pick up returned gifts, and deliver and sort them at San Carlos Self Storage. At the end of that period, area agencies are asked to make arrangements to come to San Carlos Self Storage and pick up their gifts for their holiday parties, or gift giving events.
Please help us make this year’s NBC2 Giving Tree Program a huge success. For volunteer information, please contact:
