Angel Tree
Get Involved Here...
Ready to Shop for a Child Now? Click here, choose a child, and submit. Then go shopping and return the items curbside to Murray City School District (5102 S. Commerce Drive, Murray) by December 1, and we’ll take it from there.
Don’t Have Time to Shop or Want to Go in on it with Others? Submit a contribution below, and we will do the shopping for you! Our holiday elves will purchase clothing, shoes, etc., or learning-focused items (puzzles, games, etc.).
Either way, you are helping ensure ALL children in our community experience the joy and dignity they deserve this holiday season.
Murray is Making Spirits Bright in 2026!
As we kick off this year’s MEF Murray Makes Spirits Bright Angel Tree campaign on November 13 at Fashion Place Mall, the Murray City School District and Murray Education Foundation invite you to make the holidays a little brighter for local students and families in need.
Whether you choose to adopt an angel tag and shop for individual gifts, coats, and supplies, or make a direct financial contribution so the MCSD and MEF teams can do the shopping on your behalf, your generosity ensures that every student in our community feels loved, supported, and celebrated this season.
Angel Tree tags are available on our tree at Fashion Place Mall from November 13 to December 24, 2026, located inside the Mall, near H&M and Crate and Barrel.
Join us on November 13, 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. at Fashion Place Mall as we launch our season of giving with a special variety of student-led performances.
