Spring Hill Mall has The Giving Tree
Spring Hill Mall is celebrating the 21st anniversary of "The Giving Tree" this holiday season.
The greater Fox Valley area community will have the opportunity to continue its generous holiday spirit of helping local children, families and senior citizens with special needs from 15 participating local nonprofit agencies.
The Giving Tree is in Macy's wing through Christmas Eve. Ornament gift tags will be displayed on the tree with names of children, families and seniors with special requests for Christmas. Names and gift requests are submitted by agencies.
Shoppers are invited to stop by the Giving Tree, select a gift tag and purchase a requested gift. Shoppers are welcome to look at all the gift tags and read the personal requests.
Most people choose a gift tag that represents someone special to them. A person on the gift tag might remind someone of their own grandparent or someone the same age as their own child. Local businesses choose Giving Tree gift tags as a company project.
The 15 local agencies that will directly benefit from this year's Giving Tree are: Alternative Behavior Treatment Center, Boys and Girls Club of Dundee Township, Catholic Charities, Centro de Informacion, Children's Home and Aid Society, Community Crisis Center, Ecker Center for Mental Health, Elgin Day Care Center, Housing Authority of Elgin, Life Center, Outreach Fellowship Christian Center, PADS, Senior Services Associates, Tom Thumb Child Care Center, and Two Rivers Head Start-Lake Marian.
Spring Hill Mall is at routes 31 and 72 in West Dundee. Mall hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Expanded hours will vary through Christmas Eve.
