Giving Tree Demonstrates Compassion and Caring
The Stonehedge annual Giving Tree shows the compassion Stonehedge families feel for one another. Because of your generosity our committee was able to sponsor several families this holiday season. Generous gifts of toiletries, hats, scarves, mittens, gloves and socks overflowed the donation boxes for the Syracuse Samaritan Center. Thank you to all who had a hand in supporting the Giving Tree!
