In the Lahti region, the aim is to give a Christmas present to around a thousand children and young people.
The need for assistance is expected to be even greater this year to help children and young people with fewer opportunities.
For example, the Joulupuu collection in Lahti and Hollola is preparing Christmas presents for up to a thousand children. The increase in the need for help is mainly due to rising prices.
The Christmas tree collection is a collection of gift cards. Gift cards can be left at the five main collection points and a few side points. The collection points are marked with the Joulupuu Lahti logo.
You can get a gift card at any store that sells gifts for children and young people. Monetary donations are not accepted at the collection, but they can be directed to the area via the eJoulupuu website.
Christmas tree collection continues until December 11.
