Overall Experience
Wonderful and Very rewarding - Great Experience for the whole family
|
We decided for our Christmas in 2004 that we wanted to spend it in giving to others. We researched opportunities throughout the western United States, before we settled on the giving tree and Libby Wright. Libby was so enthusiastic and helpful. We has a famuily could not have had a more rewarding experience. We spent 10 days over Christmas serving the great people in Tucson. From wrapping gifts, feeding the less fortunate, contruction projects, ,picking up items of donation, delivering goods - the list goes on and on. We was able to provide a Christmas dinner at the Grace Home and allow the year round volunteers to spent the day with their families. Our family benefited in many ways from this experience and grew closer together as a result. We will be back again in 2005 and will have some friends traveling with us.

Overall Experience
Very Informal and Very Rewarding

My husband and I try to go every Sunday to the feeding lot on 22nd St. It's a great way to volunteer. You can bring food, clothes or just a smile and lend a hand. If anyone out there is affliated with a restaurant and/or catering business, please consider donating your left-overs to this cause.

Overall Experience
Have been searching for a smaller agency that works with abused/ neglected children as they have a special place in my heart.

Giving Tree Outreach Program does great work. Enjoy being involved with the feeding program on Sunday nights, both cooking for the people & serving them. My husband & I are also involved with them by collecting items on their wish list during the month as we are able, and then taking them to Libby for the Grace Home. I enjoy a good shopping/bargain hunting challenge & it makes me very happy to be able to give to others this way. I am looking forward to getting to know some of the other volunteers & becoming more involved with this agency in any way that we can help.
