Each year, we do the best we can to include all our clients in holiday cheer, and this year is no different! Despite the challenges this year has brought us, we still have many reasons to celebrate and get into the holiday spirit.
LIFEDesigns supports about 40-50 clients who do not have anyone in their lives to spend the holidays with. Our annual Angel Tree is our way of providing them with the holiday giving experience they so desire. Each client that is on the Angel Tree list gets to create a wish list, which is shared with our community at German American Banks in Bloomington and Bedford. Each tree is decorated with angel ornaments that has an Angel Tree tag attached that shares the clients wish list. Anyone thanks works, banks at or visits a German American Bank can grab an ornament and contribute to helping get that client their wish for Christmas.
Each year we are so honored to see how much our community supports this event and our mission. We had amazing success last year and every client’s wish list was fulfilled! We are so grateful for German American Bank and their ongoing support and generosity. We are excited to see the trees again this year, along with the smiles on our clients faces when they receive their presents.
If you are interested in giving back this holiday season, visit a German American Bank in Bloomington and/or Bedford. The trees will be set up Friday, November 27, 2020 and we are asking all gifts be returned to German American Bank by Thursday, December 17, 2020.
