McKendree Community Helps Make Spirits Bright with Generous Angel Tree Donations

(LEBANON, Ill., Dec. 20, 2024) – The McKendree University community helped make the holiday season a little brighter for local children and families in need through its annual Angel Tree project.

Faculty, staff, and students alike “adopted” an angel from the Angel Tree, bought an age-appropriate gift, and returned it to The Reverend Beverly L. Wilkes-Null, university chaplain at McKendree University, for her to donate. Dozens of gifts were given and delivered this year.

Rev. Wilkes-Null was pleased with the generous turnout.

“We had to make two trips to get all the gifts in,” she said.
