Law’s National Honor Society hosted the Giving Tree once again this year.

The Giving Tree, which is located in the main lobby, features gift tags that indicate what presents children within our community want for the holidays.  All donations are anonymous so anyone was able to donate whatever they could.

This year, over 100 gifts were collected for 50 children in the community.

“It’s a great way to spread the holiday spirit,” NHS president Sofya Calvin said.

The purpose of the drive is to connect the community and give back during the holiday season.  Law partners with Bridges in Milford and fills the lists of the children within the community.

“People want to give back but don’t know how,” Calvin said.  “No one realizes that one gift makes a difference, and it is a big difference to those kids.”

The Giving Tree started in the beginning of December and ended Tuesday, December 16.  Law’s students, faculty, and family members all helped purchase the gifts the children wanted for the holidays.

On December 18, the counselors from Bridges came in to pick up all of the gifts for their children.  All of the gifts received were well though-out and each child got everything they asked for on the list.

“These kids have something to looks forward to now in the holiday season,” NHS secretary Raeven Grant said.

The NHS looks forward to hosting the Giving Tree in the future.

“It is a really nice program and it helps foster peoples generosity,” NHS member Rasheeda Samih said.
