Port Allegany United Methodist Church Giving Tree
For many years, the Port Allegany United Methodist Church congregation collects hats, scarfs, mittens, gloves and socks and decorate two trees in the sanctuary with their collection. Each January, the donated items are packed and taken to the local schools and given to students in need. Kids at UMC are pictured with some of the donations as the trees were undecorated after Sunday’s morning worship service. They are (front row, left to right) Ella Buchsenschutz, Finley Buchsenschutz, Everett Schimp, Tripp Schimp; (row 2) Sofia Buchsenschutz, ,Adeline Schimp, Alivia McDowell, Dale Connelly; (back row) Lincoln Barnard, Owen Carr, Maddie Dinch and Faith Dinch.
