Each year, Target stores in the Portland metro area donate their display holiday trees to local nonprofits. United Way of the Columbia-Willamette has been coordinating with Target stores in getting the trees to agencies and the families they serve.
The Immigrant and Refugee Community Organization (IRCO), one of the United way's partner agencies, received nine trees, which they gave away to families during the Parenting Program's annual holiday celebration, held Dec. 21. The trees -- complete with garlands, lights, ornaments, and other trimmings -- were entered in a drawing. IRCO staff members helped the winning families take down the trees so they can bring them home in time for Christmas.
Thanks to the hard work of James Dillard, United Way Community Account Executive, for his work in coordinating pickup and delivery of the trees from area Target stores.
