The
GIVING TREE
The PNRC Giving Tree, a program coordinated by the PNRC Community Outreach Committee, is a cherished holiday tradition. We connect member nonprofits with generous businesses and individuals to fulfill the holiday wishes of children, seniors, and families in need throughout the Chamber’s footprint.

How the Program Works
We serve as the bridge between those who need help and those who want to give:
- Nonprofit Partners: Current nonprofit PNRC members may apply for inclusion and once approved, submit wish lists for physical gifts for their clients.
- Ambassadors: Local businesses (members and nonmembers alike) host a minimum of 25 Giving Tree tags at their place of business and serve as convenient gift drop-off locations OR support the program financially with a $200 donation, which fills up to 8 wishes.
- Donors: Community members select a tag, purchase the item, and return it to the Ambassador’s business for collection by the nonprofit.
