There’s a little extra sparkle at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center this holiday season.
Design teams came together to decorate exquisite trees, in hopes of providing comfort for those passing through our doors.
Many of these volunteer groups have been giving their time to these trees for years, if not decades, as part of Providence Festival of Trees.
That event had its final showing last year in Portland, but the desire to bring joy through their creative collaborations did not waver. Our foundation team and the volunteers decided to try and have the festival’s spirit live on at several hospitals and care centers.
Safeway, the title sponsor of the continuing festivals in Medford and Seaside, agreed to sponsor the Portland trees this year, as well.
The Safeway-Providence Festival of Trees events are continuing in Medford, with public viewing Dec. 6-7, and Seaside, with a community open house and gala on Dec. 6.
