Hillsdale Shopping Center will be hosting the Samaritan House Giving Tree, supporting San Mateo County families facing financial hardship during the winter season. Shoppers are invited to donate new, unwrapped toys, children's coats and gift-wrapping supplies. Samaritan House volunteers will be available to accept contributions and share information about the program Nov. 27-29 and Dec. 5-6, from 2 to 7 p.m. Donation barrels will remain available at the center's Customer Service Centers throughout the remainder of the holiday season.
