NOKOMIS — The Santa Dennis Spirit of Christmas Giving is once again sponsoring the “Angel Tree” program. The program is for Nokomis CUSD #22 children of families in need of a little extra help at Christmas.

Delivery of purchases with no wrapping should arrive at the Missions by no later than Saturday, Dec. 4.

Local businesses, clubs, or organizations wishing to help with this program are more than welcome to assist. Assistance via monetary donations, gift donations, and gift sorting are available options.
