Blessing Tree
BRINGING HOPE TO THE HOLIDAYS
The Endeavors Blessing Tree program assists in fulfilling holiday wishes for 200 of our Bexar County clients that we serve, who are enrolled in our Veteran and Community Based Services programs. These programs provide supportive housing, case management, professional counseling, life skills training, and employment opportunities for chronically homeless adults with disabilities and their children throughout Texas.
Our Blessing Tree tags are posted on a virtual tree, for individuals to claim. Once you have claimed your tag(s), you can start shopping! All our clients provide their age, gender, clothing/shoe size and a wish for a gift. Clients range in age all the way from newborn to seniors. Your contribution to sponsoring a tag supports veterans, children, and those who have experienced homelessness.

HOW IT WORKS
- Shopping Guide: We have our clients provide as much information as possible to assist you with your shopping. It is not expected for you to buy everything from the tag, but to use it as a guide. We have found that $65 is a good average to purchase a pair of shoes, clothing, and an item from their wish list (especially if you find holiday deals)!

- Labeling & Packaging: Please ensure that your gift(s) are labeled with the identification number located on your virtual tag.

- Follow-Up Communication: Updates for gift drop-off, marking your gift as “delivered,” and wrapping party details will be sent out throughout the process, after a tag is claimed.
- Volunteer Opportunity: A volunteer link will be sent out for the wrapping party if you would like to help wrap gifts. We expect to wrap over 1,000 individually wrapped gifts again this year! Save the date for December 17th if you want to participate.
