The El Dorado County Library, South Lake Tahoe Women’s Center and CASA El Dorado are partnering to offer the seventh annual Giving Tree. The tree is up in the South Lake Tahoe branch library and decorated with the holiday wish list ornaments of children who are part of the court system, perhaps in foster care, or living in a shelter as a result of domestic violence in their family.

Here is how you can help with the Giving Tree:

• Pick an ornament from the tree. Or pick more than one.

• Take the ornament(s) and buy what you would like from the list.

• Return the unwrapped gifts to the library no later than 1pm Dec. 10 so Santa has time for wrapping and delivering to kids.

• To return, please put gifts in a bag and secure the ornament tag on the outside of the bag.

These children have wishes, and the community can help their wishes come true.
