The annual charity effort to make the Christmas season better for disadvantaged kids in DeKalb County ends Saturday with a holiday party.

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

Gifts will be distributed at the party starting at noon Saturday at the South DeKalb Mall on Candler Road. Entertainment and treats also will be included at the event, which is free and open to the public.
