ANGEL TREE GIFT DRIVE FROM 15 BROAD
The 15 Broad Street Angel Tree, started years ago with the Salvation Army program, has started again — and they are getting bigger. Last year they sponsored more than 800 Downtown children and seniors for the holidays. You can participate in several ways: Email 15BroadAngelTree@gmail.com to be assigned a wish list of three items for a child or senior (your choice). Or you can visit the group’s online gift registry, link here. Or you can contribute a monetary donation via check, Venmo (@Lissa-Hussian), or credit card. The deadline is December 14.
WASHINGTON MARKET PARK CLOSED TUESDAY
Washington Market Park will be closed Tuesday while the Parks Department removes tree stumps. (Not an easy task.)
