The Chapel Hill Service League’s Christmas House wish trees will arrive this Friday at Carr Mill and University malls.
A 50-year tradition, the trees are decorated with paper bears. Each bear contains the gender and age of a child in need of a holiday gift. Shoppers can take a bear from the tree, purchase a toy for that child and return the gift to a collection box next to the tree.
Last year, 841 children received warm coats, books and toys. For additional information about Christmas House or how to contribute, call 933-1141.
