Join your fellow MIT community members in supporting this great MIT holiday tradition. Gift requests can be picked up at the MIT Public Service Center at 4-104 from November 19 through December 13.All gifts are due to W20-549 by 10 a.m. on December 14.
Find out more about how to participate and view the list of participating agencies.
The MIT Giving Tree allows students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends to provide gifts to needy children in the Cambridge and Boston area each holiday season. The MIT Public Service Center and Panhellenic Association work with 11 local agencies to collect gift requests from hundreds of children. Each gift request is then individually matched to a Giving Tree participant, making the Giving Tree a more personalized experience for everyone.
Parents: Please note that the Giving Tree program is unfortunately unable to provide gifts to individual families directly. Instead, we work with 11 local social service organizations to provide gifts to the children they work with. Please contact those agencies for more information about whether you may participate in their giving programs.
To find out more about the MIT Giving Tree, email mitgivingtree@mit.edu, stop by the PSC in 4-104, or phone us at 617-253-0742.
