St. Mary’s Health Foundation’s Angel Tree

SMH Angel Tree Graphic

For 30 years, the St. Mary’s Health Angel Tree has helped bring our community together to support local children and families during the Christmas season. Through the generosity of donors, children from newborn through 12th grade receive gifts, warm clothing, and a brighter holiday season.

How the Program Works

The Angel Tree program connects:

  • Local children and families in need of assistance
  • Community members who wish to provide gifts
  • St. Mary’s Health caregivers who coordinate the program

Whether you’re requesting assistance, nominating a family, adopting a gift tag, or making a donation, your participation helps make the holidays brighter for local families.

Request Assistance or Make a Nomination

Families seeking assistance, as well as community members wishing to nominate a child or family, are encouraged to contact Kristi Holthaus at (208) 962-2331 by November 20. All information is kept confidential.

In addition to holiday gifts, volunteers with the St. Mary’s Health Community Pantry prepare holiday food boxes for Angel Tree families and local seniors. Those needing food assistance may also contact Kristi to request a food box.

Adopt an Angel Tree Gift Tag

The Angel Tree is located at St. Mary’s Health Hospital in Cottonwood.

Community members can support the program by selecting a gift tag from the tree, purchasing the requested items, and returning the gifts by the deadline.

Other Ways to Help
