The holidays are a little brighter when we come together. The Giving Tree at Stanley Marketplace is more than gifts under a tree. It's a tradition rooted in kindness, community, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel remembered during the holiday season.

The tradition began with a woman named Carol, whose generosity inspired something truly special. After her passing, her daughter and son-in-law continued the Giving Tree through their shop, Trunk Nouveau, before passing the tradition along to Bonez 4 Budz. Today, Carol's legacy lives on through the generosity of our Stanley community.

Last year alone, our community donated more than 3,500 gifts to support local families, children, individuals, and animals. This holiday season, we're inviting you to help us continue that legacy, one gift and one act of kindness at a time.
