WORTHINGTON — ’Tis better to give than to receive, and Serenity Gifts is taking that old adage to heart.
The Worthington business, located along Oxford Street, started a Giving Tree program earlier this month. Families in need are encouraged to contact owner Shari Van Der Brink, and nominations are also being accepted. All information is being kept confidential.
“We announced this Dec. 1 and we had already contacted people before that,” Van Der Brink explained. “We contacted some area churches for names, and Love INC was also contacted for names. Random individuals have come in and put in names as well.”
