Natick Holiday Happenings, 2020

December 9, 2020 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

Our roundup of holiday activities taking place in Natick, Massachusetts:

Don’t see your holiday event here? Contact Deborah at natickreport@gmail.com for inclusion.

Marsha Kelly Memorial Giving Tree donations

The Marsha Kelly  Memorial Giving Tree is up and decorated again this year at the Natick Police Department at 20 E. Central Street, however, there have been some changes for 2020. The Natick Service Council has provided gift cards to families for their holiday gift needs.

The Service Council is asking for help in another area. Those same families are in need of necessities throughout the year. Items such as winter clothing, infant necessities, personal care items, and/or birthday gifts for children are all needed and in short supply. This year, each ornament will represent an item of necessity for families.

Please stop at the Natick Police Department and take a Wish List Ornament from the Marsha Kelly Giving Tree to continue to help those families in need. Donations must be dropped off at the station by Dec. 18th.

Any questions, contact Marylee Watkins, Natick Police Department, 508-647-9510 x2625

The Natick Service Council and the Natick Police thank you for your generosity.
