How the program works is simple. You go into either the Valpo or Portage location and seek out their specially designated tree that has ornaments with names of different residents on them. As well as names are lists of what a resident needs or would like to have as a gift this Christmas. Necessities like toothbrushes or clothes, or things they want like books or candy will be on the list.
Go purchase the gifts that are listed, wrap them, and then bring it back to location where you got the ornament (and have the ornament with you). Give the gifts to any of the staff at Rittenhouse and they will definitely make sure that the resident you shopped for will receive his or her gift.
