There are wish ornaments on the Giving Trees that were submitted by local nonprofit organizations serving veterans, senior citizens, children, the homeless, and animals.

You can find the trees, and boxes for collected the fulfilled wish items at the Anastasia Island Branch, Bartram Trail Branch, Ponte Vedra Beach Branch, and Southeast Branch libraries.

Donations will be collected, sorted, and boxed for the nonprofit organizations by St. Johns CARES, Inc. The group is also taking cash donations that will be used to buy items for unfulfilled wishes and needs.
