Gifts purchased for Share the Spirit Holiday Assistance program need to be returned by Thursday, Dec. 15, to a tree location or taken to STS Santa Headquarters in the former DRS building on South Hills at the top of Polson Hill.
Tags for children ages 12 and under are hanging on Christmas trees located in the following Polson businesses: Walmart, Glacier Bank, St. Joseph Medical Center, Lake County Court House, Eagle Bank and Lake County Leader; in Pablo at S&K Electronics; in Ronan at True Value Hardware, Gift Gallery, Flower Mill, Harvest Foods, Community Bank, St. Luke Community Hospital, Valley Bank and Jore Corp.; and in St. Ignatius at Rod’s Harvest Foods and Lake County Bank. In Polson tags also hang on trees at Linderman and Cherry Valley schools.
