The Boundary County courthouse Christmas tree is up and beautifully decorated, and the pile of new toys beneath it grows daily as courthouse staff and members of the public generously donate to make Christmas a little brighter for county kids through Project Care n’Share.

Founded more than 30 years ago and still managed by Linda Lederhos, Care n’Share is similar to Toys for Tots, but all donations for Care n’Share remain in the community, going to local kids who might not otherwise have anything under the tree when they wake up Christmas morning.

While the application deadline to receive Care n’Share gifts has passed, there is a tremendous amount of need this year, and a lot of Christmas trees to put cheer under, and all donations are very much appreciated.

All gifts left under the courthouse tree this holiday season will be given to Project Care n’Share, in hopes that no Boundary County child will go without a gift to cherish on Christmas day.

Those interested in learning more about Project Care n’Share can call Linda at (208) 290-1483.
