Forest City Education Association Giving Tree

12/17/2025

This project wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our community and those who live in it. I know that not everyone gets to see the kids wear what you bought them or hear them talking about the toys they got when they come back after the holidays, but I do and it really is so special. Thanks to everyone who took a tag, made a donation, or supported in any way.

We are honored to have a new business host a tree this year. Family Eye Care Center, in partnership with the Forest City Education Association, will be hosting a Giving Tree in honor of Eli Olson, the son of Dr. Haley Mathews and her husband, Garrett. Join us in honoring Eli by participating in the Giving Tree event and supporting other children in our community this holiday season!
