The Oneida Health Foundation is proud to announce the launch of its annual Giving Tree Program, a heartfelt initiative designed to support Oneida Health employees and their families during the holiday season.

Now in its latest year, the Giving Tree Program provides financial assistance for everyday expenses and small gifts for children of employees who may be facing hardship. Exclusively available to Oneida Health staff, the program aims to bring comfort, joy, and relief to those who dedicate themselves to caring for others.

“Our team members give so much to our patients and community throughout the year,” said Sara Reinhardt, Director of Development. “The Giving Tree is our way of giving back to them—especially during a season that can be difficult for families experiencing financial stress.”

Employees in need can apply confidentially through the Foundation’s website or by visiting the Foundation Office in Administration. Community members and local businesses are encouraged to participate by donating funds, sponsoring a child, or adopting a family to help fulfill holiday wishes.

The Foundation is accepting donations now, and applications for assistance must be submitted by November 22 for Thanksgiving support and November 29 for Christmas gifts.
