Florence Brewing Company is excited to announce that they are partnering with Nature’s Educators for the second year in a row for the 2023 Giving Tree! The Giving Tree, is an independent program created by Florence Brewing Company  to assist families with gifts for children of Fremont County.

Nature’s Educators, a Fremont County non-profit organization with a mission to inspire individuals to understand, respect, and conserve wildlife through educational programming and experiences, felt like this would be a great project to be involved with because “Nature’s Educators is a 501c3 educational wildlife program – the largest in the state – housed right here in Florence!  We are partnering with FBC for the Giving Tree as we feel educational outreach and community connections are extremely important.  We visit thousands of individuals each year to teach about why wildlife and wild places are important and why we need to conserve them.  Many of our audience members are children and they need your help!  Thank you for your consideration of the Giving Tree!” says Devin Jaffe, Founder and Executive Director of Nature’s Educators. 

Patrons will soon be able to come to the taproom and select tags from the tree with the child’s age, gender (no names), and a list of items that each child both needs (clothing, boots, etc) and wishes for (toys, electronics, bikes, etc). Unwrapped items are due back to the brewery by December 12th.

The staff and volunteers also spend a day purchasing additional items so that each child receives presents in a fair quantity. To accomplish this, monetary donations can be made at the brewery as well. People can also sign up to be part of Santa’s Street Squad, to help fundraising efforts. They are also accepting donations of wrapping items and non-perishable foods for the families. If you are able to help in any way possible this holiday season, we implore you to give where you live!
