SGA annually puts up a Giving Tree and asks UHV faculty, staff and students, and community members to place donations for different nonprofit organizations under the tree. This year, items are being collected for Adopt-A-Pet, Food Bank of the Golden Crescent, Mid-Coast Family Services, the Old Landmark Committee and Victoria Trap-Neuter-Return. Donations can be left under the tree until Dec. 12.
