Angel Tree, Nov. 4-25

Just in time for the holidays, the Law Association for Women is collecting gifts for Angel Tree! This year, we are partnering with Truly Reaching You ministry for our public service project. Truly Reaching You works with men exiting the prison system and gives them a hand up in reintegrating into society.

Throughout the month of November, L.A.W. volunteers will be sitting at a table in front of our office at 12:15 pm and 5:15 pm with Angel tags. Each tag has two requested gifts on it for children in need. Each gift should cost between $15 and $20. Look for the Christmas tree!

Gifts may be wrapped or unwrapped. L.A.W. will have wrapping paper, ribbons, and everything you need to wrap your gift!
