ASTORIA —The Associated Student Government of Clatsop Community College will host a giving tree for the Head Start STARS — 108 children, ages 3 to 5 years, who need your help to brighten their holiday season — and invites the community to participate.

The giving tree will be located in the CCC Welcome Center in Columbia Hall, 1651 Lexington Ave. The Welcome Center is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

This year’s tree will be decorated with 108 brightly decorated stars made by the Head Start children. Each one represents a child in the program.

• Choose a gift appropriate for the age and gender noted on the star (please no weapon-type items);
