Bethlehem, PA (December 2, 2019) – This holiday season the SouthSide Arts District is bringing joy to children of South Bethlehem with a wonderful new program – The Giving Trees. Fifteen Arts District shops and restaurants will have a Christmas Giving Tree on display with very special paper ornaments. Each ornament will have listed a specific gift for a child in need on the SouthSide. Our hope throughout the holiday season is for shoppers to take ornaments off the tree and come back with those specific gifts listed, and place them under their Giving Tree. Giving Trees will be on display starting Monday, December 2^nd until December 21^st when presents will be delivered.

Giving Trees can be found at the following locations:

1. American Male – 316 E. 3^rd Street, Suite A
