Amber Price from the Boys & Girls Club of Sweetwater County and volunteer Frank Maes help distribute presents to families for the Tree of Sharing 2018. 143 families in need were able to receive Christmas with the help of companies, organizations, and individuals.

The Tree of Sharing through the Boys & Girls Club of Sweetwater County (BGCSW) assisted 143 families and over 400 children this holiday season. The goal of the Tree of Sharing program is to provide presents to as many eligible Sweetwater County children as possible. This year, like in years past, businesses, organizations, and individuals donated presents and monetary donations to help supply gifts for children and families in need in the community.

First Choice Ford and First Choice RV in Rock Springs has been the major donor for the four years Boys & Girls of Sweetwater County has conducted the Tree of Sharing. Over the past four years, First Choice Ford and First Choice RV has donated over $25,000. This allows BGCSW to staff the Tree of Sharing program for the 10 weeks of preparations. “We would like to thank First Choice Ford and First Choice RV for sponsoring the Tree of Sharing for the fourth year in a row,” said Lisa Stewart C.E.O, BGCSW. “With their generous donation, we are able to add more eligible children to our program, which in turn means more children are receiving presents for Christmas.” 

The Tree of Sharing would not be possible without individual donors throughout the community. “Every year we are presently surprised at the amount of presents that individuals donate for the Tree of Sharing. We are grateful for every person who gives during the holiday season,” said Lisa Stewart, C.E.O, BGCSW. “One thing is for sure, Sweetwater County might, in fact, be the most generous county in Wyoming.”
