PLEASANTON, CA When Leah Giles of Pleasanton went Christmas tree shopping with her family this year, she felt a tugging at her heart. She spontaneously decided on a second, mini tree for their front yard.
Within weeks it would become a Giving Tree, where neighbors could serve neighbors in need by purchasing holiday gifts for their kids, she said. Visitors to the tree can fill out a form indicating their interest in helping a local family, or share some basic information about their story, child, gift preferences and clothing sizes.
