MIT Giving Tree returns today

The MIT Giving Tree — a program matching community members’ donated gifts with children in the Boston and Cambridge area — returns to campus from Nov. 22 through Dec. 13. Each year, more than 500 MIT staff and students provide gifts to 600-plus children affiliated with 13 local service agencies.

Co-sponsored by the MIT Public Service Center and the Panhellenic Association, the Giving Tree allows participants to choose specific gifts for specific children, making the gift-giving process a more personalized one for all. Gift request tags are available at the MIT Public Service Center in Room 4-104.

Please purchase and wrap your gift and place the gift label on it, and return it to the PSC no later than 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 15.
