STOWE, Vt.
This holiday season the Trapp Family Lodge has put up a Giving Tree and is working to benefit three different Vermont charities; Donate Life VT, the Vermont Food Bank and the Lamoille Family Center.
This is the first year that the Trapp Family Lodge is doing a Giving Tree. The Gift Shop in the Main Lodge is selling “giving tags” which guests and visitors can purchase for a monetary donation of their choosing and place on the Giving Tree which is located right outside of the Gift Shop.
• Donate Life Vermont is a social initiative sponsored by The Center for Donation & Transplant to increase the number of organ donor registrants in the state of Vermont. Its mission is to bring awareness and education to the Vermont communities about the importance and need for organ donors while providing the tools to take action. Donate Life Vermont is proud to announce the launch of its community-oriented web site, www.DonateLifeVermont.org to encourage Vermont residents to join the organ donor registrant list and motivate their networks to do the same.
