14th-Annual Giving Tree

Published: November 11, 2022

Help bring holiday cheer to children in the Treasure Valley by participating in College of Western Idaho’s (CWI) 14th-annual Giving Tree. This year, the College’s Psychology Club, Psi Beta, Veteran’s Association, Student Nurses Association, and Social Work Club are partnering with CASA of Southwest Idaho, an independent non-profit organization representing the best interests of children in foster care.

“This is a great way to show kids in the foster system they are cared for, they are supported, and there are people out there who are hoping the best for them,” said Psychology Club Co-Chair, Jessicca Astle.

Last year, the event was able to collect more than 600 toys and presents for foster children.

Unwrapped gifts will be collected now through Dec. 6 at trees located near the security desks at the following campus locations:
