Gregg's 'Giving Tree' program seeks monetary donations this year

Posted

Gregg’s Restaurants & Taverns, with locations in Warwick, Providence, East Providence, and North Kingstown, is hosting its 26th annual “Giving Tree” initiative to benefit the children, adults, and seniors at area nonprofit community organizations this holiday season.

In lieu of physical gifts, Gregg’s is asking for monetary donations and $25 Visa, Mastercard, and American Express gift cards, as well as those for Target and Walmart, to allow the program’s recipients to choose their own gifts. Gregg’s Christmas “elves” will use the donated funds to shop for the gifts included on its partner organizations’ wish lists. Those who contribute $25 or more to this year’s “Giving Tree” initiative will be rewarded with a gift card that can be redeemed for a slice of Gregg’s famous Chocolate Layer Cake.

“We take great pride in our ‘Giving Tree’ program and each year we are blown away by our customers’ and staff members’ generosity,” said Bobbie Bacon, Gregg’s Restaurants and Taverns. “While there won’t be gifts under our ‘Giving Trees’ this year, the men, women, and children we’re supporting this holiday season will receive the gifts on their Christmas lists thanks to the efforts of the Gregg’s extended family.”

Since November of 1995, Gregg’s “Giving Tree” initiative has supported a host of local nonprofit groups that provide services to families, the homeless, the forgotten, and the elderly in need.  The trees in Gregg’s lobbies are adorned with tags that explain how to participate in this gift giving endeavor.  Guests are invited to take a tag for themselves, and extra tags to pass on to friends and family, so they can help as well.   

On average, Gregg’s and its generous customers source gifts for more than 4,500 individuals each holiday season.  To date, more than 25,000 people in need have been assisted by the Giving Tree program. 

Gregg's, giving tree
