Wednesday, November 15, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 25 GIVING: Get applications for programs in now Continued from page 1 Giving Tree” to provide Christmas gifts to families in need in Sisters Country this holiday season. They expect to serve close to 250 families this year. Gifts are available to chil- dren age newborn to seniors in high school of low-income families who live within the Sisters or Black Butte school districts. Applications for the program are available to be picked up now at the following locations: Sisters- Camp Sherman Fire District, Kiwanis Food Bank and the FAN office in Sisters. Again, applications are due by Friday, November 17 at 5 p.m. in order to receive a gift. The Association is collect- ing new unwrapped gifts at the fire station at 301 S. Elm St. in Sisters. There will be “Spirit of Christmas Giving Trees” at Sisters Ray’s Food Place, Sisters Bi-Mart, Black Butte Ranch Post Office and Black Butte Ranch Police Department by November 18. Last year the Association launched a new virtual “Spirit of Christmas Giving Tree” and plan to have that option available again this year. On the fire district web- site at www.sistersfire.com you will be able to pick a tag and help make Christmas a little more special for a Sisters family in need right from the comfort of your home or from anywhere you have Internet access. Volunteers encourage you to pick a gift tag for a child from one of the trees and pur- chase specific gifts requested by the families rather than just donating a non-specific gift. For those folks that would like to participate in the program but are unable to purchase a specific gift, they will also accept cash dona- tions. Cash donations are tax- deductible and will go toward gift-buying. Cash donations can be made at the main fire station, by mail at PO Box 1509, Sisters, OR 97759 or at www.sistersfire.com. The deadline for gift donations is Friday, December 1. The tags that are not filled by the community will be filled by Fire District volunteer shop- pers using donated funds, which mean that no qualify- ing child gets left without a gift. For more information contact the Sisters-Camp Sherman fire district at 541-549-0771. Although Furry Friends Foundation will be moving to a new location soon, dona- tions for the Furry Friends Holiday Pet Food Drive may still be brought to The Nugget office through the holidays. Cash donations are particularly helpful, allowing for targeted purchases of pet food to support families who are part of the holiday food drive program. Checks may be made payable to Furry Friends Foundation and sent to P.O. Box 1175, Sisters, OR 97759 or dropped off at The Nugget Newspaper office at 442 E. Main Ave. during business hours.
