MGE Christmas
Giving Trees
MGE is collecting items again this year for our pets at the Lancaster County Animal Shelter (Angel Paws), senior citizens in the local nursing homes (Senior Angels), and items to keep our students warm here at MGE (Warming Tree). This is a wonderful way to be charitable and send love this holiday season. Needed items are suggested at left. The last day to donate items is December 17th.
