Angel Tree Gifts Due Back
2025-12-14 | Mount Pleasant Presbyterian Church, 302 Hibben St, Mount Pleasant, SC, 29464, United States
As members of MPPC, we’re called to love and support our neighbors. The Angel Tree is a wonderful way to spread Christmas joy to children and families in our community.
This year, the Angel Tree serves nine area elementary and Windwood Farms. In late October, we reached out to guidance counselors at each school to identify families who would benefit from our program. Families provide us with a wish list of items that would be meaningful for their children.
How to Participate: The Angel Tree is displayed in the Fellowship Hall. Simply visit the tree to select an angel. Each child has one angel on the tree, complete with a wish list for clothes and toys. You’re welcome to purchase any or all of the suggested items-choose what feels right for you.
Important Deadline: Please bring your wrapped gifts (or gifts in gift bags) to the church by December 14th and place them in the Fellowship Hall.
Thank you for your generosity and for being a blessing to our neighbors this Christmas season.
