If you’re looking to give back to a child in need this season, the Lawrence Library is collecting children’s gifts for the HomeFront Holiday Wish Tree.

Those interested can take a tag with a requested item from the Wish Tree found in the library’s lobby. Each gift must be returned unwrapped, in a gift bag with the tag attached. Donated items may be dropped off at the Lawrence Library during the library’s open hours. Collection of donated items will end on Monday, Dec. 10. Every contribution makes a difference.

HomeFront helps families end the cycle of poverty. The organization’s mission is to end homelessness in Central New Jersey by harnessing the kindness, resources and expertise of the community. For more information about HomeFront, visit homefrontnj.org.

The Lawrence Headquarters Branch of the Mercer County Library System is located at 2751 Brunswick Pike in Lawrenceville. For more information about the library and other programs it offers, call (609) 883-8294 or visit mcl.org.
