HELP GIVE BACK WITH THE MISSION PT ANGEL TREE ‘TIS THE SEASON The Angel Tree is up! Last month, we told you about one of the holiday traditions we started here at Mission PT. Back in 2018, we decided to put up this special tree because we wanted to give back to the community, and we thought the Angel Tree was a great way to do so. Many businesses in our area seem to have some sort of opportunity to give to a special cause. Our Angel Tree helps support House of Refuge ( HouseofRefuge.org ). As you may know, House of Refuge is a faith-based nonprofit that helps families overcome homelessness. This organization provides resources and critical goods to families in need, including a safe place to stay, clothes, food, and more. House of Refuge also helps people find jobs or continue their education in order to give people a foundation for a better future. At Mission PT, we wanted to find a creative way to help this wonderful organization. The Angel Tree was a good way to allow anyone who visits our office an opportunity to contribute. The tree is covered in slips of paper, each with an item needed by the House of Refuge. All you have to do is select one of the tags, pick up the item during your normal shopping, and bring the item back to Mission PT. We will get everything from here to there. It’s that easy! Since starting our Angel Tree, we’ve been impressed by the generosity of our patients. We live in such a supportive community, and every year, it’s exciting to see how everyone comes together to support the many great nonprofits in our area, House of Refuge included. People are often so willing to donate, volunteer, and support their favorite organizations in any way they can. We all give back in different ways. We’ve been touched by so many stories of people offering a helping hand. This holiday season, if you wish to participate in our Angel Tree project, simply stop by our clinic anytime from now until the end of December. We hope to see you soon. Thank you and happy holidays!
