Interfaith Caregivers and the Olean Times Herald collaborate in an effort to bring Christmas to families and disabled single adults in need throughout Cattaraugus County. Over 20 local human service agencies submit applications for families.  Community members and businesses then adopt those families. In 2009, over 150 families were adopted through the Gift Tree program.

You may find the list of families to be adopted in the Olean Times Herald during the month of November.

If you want to support Gift Tree but you are unable to adopt or go shopping, you may contribute to the Gift Tree Fund by making a check to:
