Saint Mary’s Gifts for Winona due Wednesday, Dec. 14

WINONA, Minn. — The deadline is fast approaching to return gifts to the Saint Mary’s University Gifts for Winona giving trees. Because the community distribution is early, gifts MUST be returned to giving trees by Wednesday, Dec. 14!

Those individuals who have already taken tags should return their packages (with tags securely fastened) to the tree where they got the tag. Trees are located at the Winona Public Library, the three Severson-Sinclair locations, the Winona Post, Walmart and Security State Bank in Lewiston. Donors are asked to spend about $30 per person.

If you got a tag from a church or different organization, check your tag for the date your gifts are to be returned and other instructions.

To ensure that the large number of gifts may be properly sorted and recorded, meeting the deadline is a priority.

Because of the overwhelming generosity of the Winona community, tags may no longer be available. Tax-deductible contributions can also be made out to Saint Mary’s University Gifts for Winona and sent to 700 Terrace Heights #8, Winona, Minn., 55987.

Several community partners including the Winona Post, Wells-Fargo, Winona Radio and Winona Volunteer Services join Saint Mary’s University in helping to make this program a success.
