Natick's 2019 Giving Tree Goes Up Thanksgiving Week

NATICK, MA — An annual Natick police and Natick Service Council effort to buy gifts for Natick kids begins soon. The 2019 Marsha Kelly Memorial Giving Tree fundraiser will gather 100 gifts for local children.

Each year, police and the service council decorate a tree with 100 ornaments. Residents can stop by the police station to pick ornaments, and each ornament comes pre-filled with information about a child's gift-wish.

The tree will be open through Dec. 9. After shopping is done, gifts can be dropped off at the Natick police department.

Marsha Kelly was a police department employee who died in 2009. The Natick police department is located at 20 East Central St.

Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly described how the gift-giving process works. Residents shop for gifts by picking up an ornament.
