CHILD WELFARE SERVICES – Giving Tree toy donation program
Nevada County ​Child Welfare Services (CWS) distributes their annual "Giving Trees" to different community locations the week of Thanksgiving. Every December CWS works with community partners to collect donated presents for children served by CWS, including those in foster care in Nevada County. This annual tradition brings joy to children during the holiday season and helps support their families.
 
Each Giving Tree has tags for each child currently in agency care. The tags include the child's gender, age, and some of their interests/wishes. Simply take a tag, shop for the items listed, and return the tag and all donations of unwrapped gifts back to the pick-up site or to the Child Welfare Services office at 988 McCourtney Rd in Grass Valley. All gifts and tags will be returned to Child Welfare Services by Friday, December 17, 2021, to be wrapped and delivered to a child by December 25.
 
Stop by and pick a tag from a Giving Tree in the following locations:

• Nevada City:
  • Eric Rood Administrative Center
  • Nevada County Courthouse

• Grass Valley:
  • Brighton Greens
  • Caroline’s Coffee
  • South Yuba Club
  • Training Zone
