Alice Birney Giving Tree - 2021 — University Heights Community Association

Want to make this holiday season brighter for a neighbor in need? UHCA has a great way for you to make a positive impact on families in our neighborhood- we’re continuing our annual tradition of sponsoring the Birney Giving Tree.

How it works

Neighbors buy one or more gift cards in any denominations (suggested $5 - $25) from local stores such as Sprouts, Ralphs, Trader Joe’s, Target. Deposit them to one of the collection boxes around the neighborhood or send/drop off directly at Alice Birney School. The staff at Birney will then discreetly include the gift cards in packets going to Birney families that need it the most this holiday (cards from stores that sell groceries are especially helpful this time of year).

Starting November 4, collection boxes will be placed at UH businesses where you can drop off gift cards by Friday December 3.

Last year UHCA helped raise over $1800 in donations! Let’s show our generosity to families who need a little help in our neighborhood and break that record again.

Want to contribute? It’s easy! Simply purchase a gift card and drop off at any of these locations by friday December 3:
