This holiday season Ponca City Soroptimists have created an Angel Tree for children of struggling families in our community.

“We decided to do something different to help a few women with children in our community have a happier holiday,” said Heather Sumner, SIPC vice-president and project chair.

The tree has been set up in PC Provisions, 312 E. Grand. They are open Tuesday-Friday from 8am-2 pm and Saturdays from 9am-2 pm.

“Stop in Provisions, grab your favorite beverage, breakfast or lunch and select a family to help this holiday season,” said Tracy Ogden, co-chair and SIPC director. Once you’ve purchased your unwrapped gifts contact Heather at 580-352-0934 to either drop it off with an SIPC members or have someone pick them up. Deadline for SIPC members to receive the gifts is Monday, Dec. 14.
