Helping Children in Allegheny County

Help Us Brighten a Child's Christmas

Each year there are children within Allegheny County whose parents, grandparents, or guardians are unable to provide gifts for Christmas due to the struggle of just meeting daily needs. In 2020 we at USC Alliance Church were able to serve 240 children from 85 different families in Allegheny County, ranging in age from birth to 18. This year we hope to do the same!

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP?

• Gift tags indicating the age, gender, sizes, likes, and interests of children in need will be available at each in-person Sunday morning worship service. (The code that is on the tag identifies the child while protecting the child’s privacy.) A white plastic bag will be included with the tag. This bag is for you to place the UNWRAPPED presents and TAG in.

• NOTE: If you would like to participate in Angel Tree but are not attending in-person worship services, please email Kathleen Borz, Angel Tree Coordinator at [email protected], submit the form linked at the bottom of this page, or call or text 412-835-4775.

• You then get to shop for items (or gift cards) for the child(ren) whose tag(s) you have selected. This brings great joy on Christmas day and allows children to be a part of the “what I got for Christmas” conversations that inevitably happen following the holidays. And not only are you blessing the child(ren), but the parents, grandparents, and guardians, who can rest knowing that their child(ren) will not go without gifts.

• PLEASE DO NOT WRAP THE GIFTS. Instead, place them in the provided white plastic bag, along with a folded gift bag(s) and tissue paper. (This keeps the gift bag from being damaged in transit.)
NOTE: Please place the tag INSIDE the bag as well to help us minimize the risk of lost tags.

• Gifts should be returned to Upper St. Clair Alliance Church no later than Sunday, December 5.

If you have any questions, please contact Kathleen Borz, Angel Tree Coordinator at [email protected], submit the form found at the bottom of this page, or call or text 412-835-4775.
