Giving Tree Families

Our 2026 Community Impact Award winners have been selected! Over the next several days, we will be highlighting these outstanding students who are making a meaningful difference in their communities through service, leadership, and kindness.

Today, we are proud to recognize Sydney Vance, one of our High School Division winners! Sydney has been part of The Giving Tree family since she was just 5 years old!

It has been inspiring watching her grow into a compassionate leader dedicated to helping others. Through her love of music, education, and community service, she creates opportunities for younger children and continues to encourage her peers to use their talents to give back. Sydney truly embodies the spirit of community impact. We are honored to celebrate all she has accomplished. Congratulations Sydney!

We are excited to share the results of a very successful year of service education! Over the past academic year, students in schools across the Philadelphia five-county area participated in various campaigns assembling service projects benefiting thousands of individuals in need.

A huge thank you to the students of Morton McMichael School for making a difference in our community through service and kindness!

The 1st and 2nd grade students assembled snack bags to support members of the homeless community, while the 5th and 6th grade students created thoughtful gifts for seniors. Their compassion and willingness to help others remind us that you are never too young to make a meaningful impact.

Thank you, students! School District of Philadelphia

Today’s post is in memory of a very special friend of The Giving Tree... Charlie Murphy. Charlie’s kindness and generosity touched so many. Whether he was delivering projects or spending time alongside the children at our service events, he always gave with a caring heart and a smile. We are forever grateful to have had Charlie as a part of our Giving Tree team. He will truly be missed by all.

Our hearts are full. 🥰. The 4th grade class of Thurgood Marshall Elementary not only assembled Morning Munchie Bags for Meals on Wheels recipients, but they learned about kindness, compassion and giving back to the community. We are grateful to the students and staff for spreading so much joy to our senior neighbors.

Our hearts are so full! 🥰
Our Giving Tree youth recently assembled Cozy Care Planters and handmade cards for the residents of Pine Run Lakeview of Doylestown. Not only did the residents send us the sweetest thank you note, but they also shared something incredibly touching… they are hosting a fundraiser to benefit The Giving Tree by making homemade dog biscuits and potholders with all proceeds supporting our mission.
We are deeply moved by the kindness, generosity, and thoughtfulness these residents have shown our organization and the youth we serve. It is beautiful to see compassion come full circle and generations supporting one another in such meaningful ways.
Thank you for reminding us what community is all about.
