The Holiday Angels Giving Tree project offers students in the following programs: EOP&S / CARE, CalWORKs, and PASS an opportunity to submit a gift request on behalf of their child(ben) to the Office of Student Life. Gift requests are placed on the Giving Tree and members of the PCC community (Faculty, Staff, and Students) will select a gift request from the Giving Tree, and purchase the gift on behalf of your child. The children will receive their gifts at a special party just for your family. This year the party is scheduled for Friday, December 16th, 2016 from 6 to 8PM in the Piazza, located on the first floor of the Campus Center. At the party, dinner will be served and there will be crafts as well as other festivities. PLEASE NOTE: The invitation is for the parent and children only. They will not be able to accommodate additional guests.
Please be mindful of the following guidelines when completing your Holiday Angels Form: ● Your gift request form must be completely filled out
- Please remember to include your child’s size and color preference when requesting clothing
- Please be concise and name a specific gift your child would like as opposed to describing things your child likes.
● Your child must be between the ages of one day old and 17 years, by Dec. 16th, 2016.
● The cost of gifts should not exceed $25 per child
● The gift must be age appropriate.
● While gift cards fit all sizes, our Angels often enjoy buying gifts for your children.
