✨ Help Us Bring Holiday Joy to Local Families ✨

The Peterborough Sunshine Fund is supporting families in the Greater Peterborough area who are experiencing hardship this Christmas. We are collecting donations to purchase gift cards, helping families choose what they truly need during the holiday season. Click here to donate https://givebutter.com/huYIN8

🎄 Prefer to donate a gift?
Local businesses have set up Christmas Giving Trees with tags listing items families could use. Choose a tag, purchase the item, and leave it under the tree — we’ll make sure it gets to a local family.

❤️ How You Can Help:
• Donate toward gift cards
• Pick a tag from a Giving Tree at participating businesses
• Share this post to spread the word

Thank you for helping us brighten the holidays for our community. ✨

2️⃣ Choose a tag, purchase a gift, and return it unwrapped by December 15, 2025.
3️⃣ Can’t shop in person? Donate online and we’ll use your contribution to purchase gift cards for local teens—one of the hardest groups to shop for!

There are nine trees in Peterborough this year with tags and we also want to thank the members of the Peterborough Fire & Rescue Association who are helping to pick up all the gifts. Gifts will still be picked up if they are purchased after the deadline, but hurry so the elves have enough time to get them delivered!
Locations are: Brady's American Grill, Peterborough Fire & Rescue, Bar Harbor Bank, Performance Health and Fitness, Nonie's Restaurant & Bakery, European Esthetics, The Toadstool Bookshop, Peterborough, Coopershill - Peterborough and Dollar General.

Thank you to all the businesses that put up trees with tags! If you didn’t get a tag but you want to donate, we are accepting donations of gift cards for local teens to help with purchasing new clothes, shoes, or supplies. Gift cards can be dropped off inside the main entrance at Peterborough Fire & Rescue. We hope to have all gifts and donations by December 17th but if you are a few days late, they will still have time to go out!

11/24/2023

The tags will be going out on trees this week and we will post a list of locations as soon as they are ready! If you can't get to a tree this year and want to donate, gift cards are a great option (especially for teenagers!) and can be dropped off at Peterborough Fire & Rescue during business hours. No tag needed!

Thank you to everyone who picked up tags at any of the Sunshine Fund’s Christmas Trees set up around Peterborough! If you picked up a tag and haven’t dropped off your gift(s) yet, we will do our final gift pickup on Monday, Dec. 19th allow extra time for those who can’t get out due to the weather. Thank you to Peterborough Fire & Rescue for helping pick up the gifts and thank you to all the locations who enthusiastically set up trees for us every year: Nonie’s, Toadstool, Bar Harbor Bank, Dollar General, Brady’s and PFR!
