Q: What is Isabel's Tree?
A: Isabel's Tree is Isabel's House's annual holiday campaign. Each light on Isabel's Tree means another child reading and playing, eating a hot meal, or resting safely in bed. Each bulb is a gift of hope for parents and kiddos when they need it most. Light up Isabel's Tree by donating here or buying a bulb at any of our local partners' locations.
Q: How do I add my light to Isabel's Tree?A: Donations in any amount for the lighting of Isabel's Tree can be made using this secure donation site OR by visiting our amazing local partners, including Holiday Inn Express & Suites (North Springfield), both Houlihan's locations in Springfield, Itty Bitty City, Macadoodles in North Springfield, Macadoodles in Republic, all Mama Jean's locations, and Tropical Smoothie Cafe North.
Q: I can only give a little... will it make a difference?A: YES! This holiday season, the best way to support local kids and families and join us in our mission to prevent child abuse & neglect in our community is by adding your light to Isabel's Tree. Over the past eleven years, this hometown campaign sponsored by Houlihan's and supported by dozens of area businesses has raised over $250,000 for Isabel's House! Whether you give $1, $10, $100 or more, for every $10 raised between now and the New Year, our friends at Houlihan's will light up one more real bulb on our tree. THANK YOU for adding YOUR LIGHT to Isabel's Tree again this year and every year!
Q: How does Isabel's Tree help?A: Last year, Isabel's House provided 24/7 care to 317 children who were facing a difficult crisis here in the Ozarks - ranging from homelessness and unsafe housing to domestic violence, medical emergencies, and overwhelming stress. Your efforts to light Isabel's Tree helped us meet the essential needs for over 20 of those children. Your light changes lives, promotes strong, stable families, and helps ensure brighter futures for every child in our community.
