Christmas Giving Tree
Encourage generosity this holiday season with a Hope Clinic Giving Tree!
If your church wants to host a giving tree, contact Marissa Jadrich, mjadrich@thehopeclinic.org
A Hope Clinic giving tree gives churches and organizations an opportunity to support their neighbors’ needs by providing free dental and medical care, food support, mental healthcare, social work, and spiritual care.
Gift tags are one-sided, and feature a QR code and link to the Hope Clinic online holiday market. The other side can be left blank, decorated, or you can write extra instructions specific to your group, such as which items you’d like members to purchase.
Tags do not need to be tracked, gathered, or returned to Hope Clinic.
Hope will happily generate a final report of your group’s giving upon request.

Instructions for a successful Giving Tree implementation are below.
Step One—
Get a Christmas tree
Make it pretty! This can be a fun small group project. Display the tree prominently in a lobby or other common area with lots of visibility to encourage participation.
Step Two—
Get gift tags from Hope Clinic, and hang them on the tree.
Email Marissa Jadrich (mjadrich@thehopeclinic.org) to let us know that your organization wants to participate. We will ask you how many gift tags you want (quantities of 25) and we can arrange to get them to you! Once your gift tags arrive, hang them on the tree.
Step Three—
encourage people to take or scan the tags and make a purchase in Hope’s online Holiday Store.
When someone takes a gift tag from the tree, the QR code on the back will direct them to the online store where they can complete the purchase for any item they choose. The QR code on is the same on all tags and directs to the Hope Clinic holiday store, NOT to specific items.
Step Four—
Celebrate!
You made a real and lasting difference in the life of a local child, family, or community member in need of help. Hope Clinic is motivated by Jesus, who said, “I came that they might have life, and have it to the full.” You helped operationalize the mission of Jesus this Christmas by offering the fullness of life—dignity, care, and celebration—to a neighbor in need.
