Local Christmas charity asks for community support
by Sarah Craighead Dedmon
The Community Christmas Giving Tree is in its 21st year of serving Downeast children, senior citizens, and adults with disabilities. Normally, the group’s 50-plus volunteers meet in late November to start packing up their stock of toys carried over from the previous season. This year, though, those stockpiles are small, in part due to reduced support from national partners.
