Our Story
The Giving Tree of WNY is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization founded on the belief that a community thrives when its members support one another. Inspired by generosity and collaboration, we envisioned a place where local nonprofits could access essential resources to better serve those in need. We saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between those with abundance and those facing hardship - fostering a network rooted in compassion and mutual support.
Our Mission
The Giving Tree is more than just a warehouse; it's a testament to the power of partnership. We efficiently distribute essential goods and resources to nonprofit organizations within the Elma, Marilla, and Wales region, as well as surrounding rural areas. By working together, we amplify our impact - empowering partners to better serve individuals and families more effectively, and bringing hope to our community.
Our Team
Our dedicated team is the heart of The Giving Tree. Operations Manager Graciella Kleitz and Operations Assistant Charity Kleitz work diligently to ensure every donation is handled with care and every partner organization receives the support they need to thrive. Their commitment to excellence keeps our mission moving forward and our community connected.
