The CWI Giving Tree

Be Part of the Annual Giving Tree

Published: November 18, 2024

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

The Giving Tree will collect donated toys and presents to gift to children in foster care around the Treasure Valley for the holidays.

New, unwrapped gifts will be collected now through Friday, Dec. 5. Each Giving Tree has tags that share gift ideas for a child in CASA of Southwest Idaho.

Trees are located near the security desks at the following campus locations:

Ada County Center Pintail Building (APIN)
Canyon County Center (CYNC)
Nampa Campus Academic Building (NCAB)
Nampa Campus Aspen Classroom Building (NASP)
