What It Is

The Giving Tree is a community initiative where people sponsor Eid gifts by choosing tags that list gift wishes for children and families in need. It turns a small act of generosity into a joyful, organized experience that brings the community together and helps ensure families can celebrate Eid with dignity and happiness.

We partner with trusted organizations and local community spaces to identify families in need (ICNA Relief)
We set up a Giving Tree with gift-wish tags
Sponsors choose a tag and purchase the requested gift(s) by the deadline
Gifts are returned unwrapped (or as directed), and our team sorts and prepares them
Gifts are delivered through our partner, ICNA Relief, for distribution before Eid

How It Works
