Every year, our Gifting Tree donation drive helps provide essential items, enrichment opportunities, and community support to abused, neglected, homeless, and at risk youth across Salt Lake County. The funds and in kind donations we receive go beyond public funding, bringing comfort, stability, and hope to young people during the holidays and all year long. 

We are looking for volunteers to help in a variety of capacities, including contacting past Gifting Tree hosts, dropping off trees at local businesses, recruiting new Gifting Tree business hosts, sorting and itemizing donations, and other tasks.

ShelterKids is a 501(c)3 all-volunteer nonprofit that relies on our community to volunteer and support our programs.  If you are interested in supporting this effort, please complete the form below.

Business outreach: Contact businesses to host a tree
