Angel Tree

December 8 & 15

Angel Tree, a project organized by The Vineyard Church, aims to provide gifts and holiday cheer to children whose families may be experiencing financial hardship, incarceration, or other challenging circumstances. Members of the Syracuse community can contribute to this cause by picking up a child’s wishlist from The Vineyard Church and purchasing a gift for the child in need.

You can pick up a wishlist and drop off gifts through November until December 15!
