Giving Tree Gift Tags
The Potsdam Holiday Fund is grateful to local businesses who support our 'Giving Tree Gift Tags and help collect gifts around the holiday season; putting smiles on the faces of children located in Potsdam, Madrid, Hopkinton, Nicholville, Brasher Falls, Chase Mills, Fort Jackson, West Stockholm and Winthrop on Christmas morning.
The Potsdam Holiday Fund serves families with children from pre-birth to age 17.
