Holiday giving program aims to help 400 families this holiday season

Catholic Charities Chief Operating Officer Yvonne Sampson said she expects more than 400 wishlists to be filled this year through the holiday giving initiative.

East Lansing resident Brian Murray was among those who donated Monday to help reach that goal. Murray wants to encourage neighbors to embrace the spirit of giving this holiday season.

For those who missed Monday's donation event, Angel Trees are still available at several locations throughout the area. The trees can be found at Lansing Mall, Meridian Mall, Smoky Bones BBQ and Mitchell's Fish Market, where community members can adopt a wishlist to fulfill.

The Angel Tree program helps connect donors with families in need during the holiday season, allowing them to purchase specific items requested by children and families.
