Madera Community Hospital will light its 40-foot Christmas tree Wednesday night during a lighting ceremony from 5:30 to 7 p.m. around the 40-foot redwood in front of the hospital.
Refreshments will be served.
Members of the community are asked to bring non-perishable food or toiletry items, which will be donated to food-distribution organizations in Madera, Chowchilla and Mendota.
During the tree-lighting ceremony, Madera Evening Lions Club will announce the results of its Giving Tuesday Blood Drive.
