Shasta College Giving Tree
How it works!
The Shasta College Giving Tree is an event sponsored by the Shasta College Student Senate. Currently enrolled Shasta College students who have children ages 17 and under are encouraged to sign up their children to be assigned to a Secret Santa who will purchase a gift for your child. Gifts are given anonymously.
Please see below for some important information!
Sign up for Giving Tree
Please note that at this time we are only allowing the first 100 eligible students to sign up for this supplemental gift assistance. (Each family can register up to six children.) In the spirit of the holidays, if you are a part of another gift exchange program locally, please leave this program for students who may not have another resource.
