The Christmas season is a reminder of the greatest gift ever given. We invite you to share that gift with neighbors in our community through the Giving Tree.

Your gifts will benefit several programs through Lutheran Family Services: Foster Families, Kinship Children, and Dana Village youth. All of the recipients are local to the greater Omaha area. 

You will find the Giving Tree in the Outreach Center (upper level, Room 204). Each ornament carries a gift request or a need, including clothing, gift cards, toys, and games. 

Here’s how you can take part:

  1. Select one or more ornament(s) from the Giving Tree. 
  2. Record which ornament(s) you selected. On the sign-out sheet, provide your name, email, and phone number AND the number(s) from the tops of the ornament(s) you took. 
  3. Purchase the item(s) listed but please DO NOT wrap the gifts. Please place the gifts in a gift bag. Gift receipts are appreciated. 
  4. Deliver the gift(s) with the ornament(s) attached to the Outreach Center.

DEADLINE: Gifts are due Friday, December 4.
