The deadline is fast approaching to return gifts to the Saint Mary's University Gifts for Winona giving trees.
                    
Because the community distribution is early, gifts must be returned to giving trees by Wednesday, December 12th.

Those individuals who have already taken tags should return their packages to the location where they got the tag. Trees are located at the Winona Public Library, the three Severson-Sinclair locations, the Winona Post, Walmart and Security State Bank in Lewiston. Donors are asked to spend about $35 per person. Grocery card trees are also located at HyVee and Midtown Foods.

Tax-deductible contributions can also be made out to Saint Mary's University Gifts for Winona and sent to 700 Terrace Heights #8, Winona, Minn., 55987. These funds are used for remaining tags or last-minute gifts.

Families who have applied for Gifts for Winona should check their mailboxes for instructions on where and how to pick up their gifts.

If you got a tag from a church or different organization, please check your tag for the date your gifts are to be returned.
