Lincoln Jaycees encourage community to support Angel Tree

[November 21, 2013]  The Lincoln Jaycees are once again asking the community to help children in need in Logan County to have a better Christmas. You can choose a child's tag with his or her needs off one of the Angel Trees located around Lincoln and shop for that child. The Lincoln Jaycees will distribute the gifts to the family.

The public can find the Angel Trees at Cracker Barrel, ALMH cafeteria, CEFCU, Illini Bank and State Bank of Lincoln. Angel Trees are also at Eaton, Verallia, Sysco and International Paper for their employees. Gifts need to be returned to businesses by Dec. 9.

The Lincoln Jaycees are also accepting monetary donations. If you would like to make a monetary donation, send it to: Lincoln Jaycees, P.O. Box 254, Lincoln, IL 62656.
