Giving Tree 2024

Through our annual giving-tree campaign, artificial trees in the narthex and lobby miraculously bear fruit. This year, it directs our attention as well as that of West Seattle/Fauntleroy YMCA members to four timely community needs:

1. extra food at home for low-income school families over winter break

2. kitchenware for asylum-seeking families transitioning from shelters to housing

3. gifts bags for children whose families rely on the Welcome Table for meals and essentials

4. relief from the burden of medical debt for low-income families in King County.

Take a tag that speaks to you from one of the trees, then use it as a reminder to donate by Dec. 15 online, in the plate, or in the church office. Also take a “Gift from the Heart” card if you’d like to honor a loved one with your donation.

Giving Tree- 2022

Our giving tree offers five opportunities for you to donate toward basic needs as identified by our homelessness and immigration task forces. You'll find tags on trees in the narthex and lobby through Dec. 11 for these needs:

- winter clothing for Welcome Table guests and Camp Second Chance residents ($20)

- Safeway gift cards for low-income school families ($25)

- food and gifts for asylum-seeking Peruvian families ($30)

- underwear for Welcome Table guests and Camp Second Chance residents (35)

- new shoes for Camp Second Chance residents ($45).

No shopping is required on your part, just a cash donation toward the need of your choice, either online, in the plate, or in the church office. The trees and office also have "Gift from the Heart" cards to present to someone you might wish to honor with your donation.
