SHPD still has tags available for teens on the Christmas giving tree.

The Sweet Home Police Department Teen Sharing Tree still has quite a few tags on it. But good news: We've extended the deadline to return tags and wrapped gifts to December 15th! โ˜บ๏ธ

The Teen Sharing Tree is aimed at helping as many families as possible during the Christmas season. Our awesome community members can make it happen for these families.

If you are able, please help out by taking tags from the tree, shopping for the listed teenagers, then wrapping and returning gifts this week. If you have any questions about the program, please call (541) 367-5181. Thank you! ๐Ÿ™Œ
