Wish Tree

Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) Connection

For about 15 years, St. Luke’s has worked with Orange County Public School Social Workers to collect gifts for students who may otherwise receive a gift at Christmas. Educational IMPACT has assumed the coordination, collection and distribution of the Wish Tree Gifts.
