Georgia United invites any interested individuals, schools, or civic groups to participate by dropping off a gift at any of the 16 Georgia United Branch locations before December 13 so deliveries can be made to DFCS prior to the week of Christmas. The Christmas Wish Tree Program is one of Georgia Uniteds longest running community service projects and one of its most successful with an estimated 13,200 gifts donated to multiple county DFCS offices during the 24 year old tenure of the program.
