Caring Tree 2025

 

It's Caring Tree time, a time Eastminster offers our love and support in the form of simple gift-giving. Our local schools are in touch with families with great needs and, with the assistance of the school counselors, we are able to connect our resources with identified families. 

​

2025 Update: In November counselors from Stone Mountain and Brockett Elementary Schools gave us the names of families struggling to provide for their families. We provided $50 Walmart Gift Cards for each child and $100 Kroger Gift Cards for 20 families. These cards make it possible for the parents to shop for their children!

​

This year we are partnering with two schools, Brockett Elementary and Stone Mountain Elementary, to give Wal-Mart and Kroger gift cards to 20 families. We will provide a $50.00 gift card for each child in the family and a Kroger gift card to assist with food and household supplies.

 

Donations for the 2026 Caring Tree may be placed in the offering plate during worship on Sunday mornings or sent to the church office with a notation for the Caring Tree. Donations are needed by Sunday, December 13, in order for the cards to be delivered to the school counselors, who will give them to the families before the December vacation begins.

Please note “Caring Tree donation” on contributions.

 

Thank you for your contributions to the Caring Tree ministry!
