Annual “Tree of Love” kicks off this month

The annual charity effort to make the Christmas season better for disadvantaged kids in DeKalb County kicks off Nov. 16 at South Dekalb Mall.

The Tree of Love program creates wish lists for holiday gifts for low-income children as well as those in foster care. Residents can select names from the tree, to help make sure the children have something to open for the holidays.

The kickoff event begins at noon Nov. 16 at the mall, 2801 Candler Road, near Decatur, with all gifts due back by Dec. 14.
