The Giving Tree is now on display in the Sterling Bank lobby and ornaments are available for adoption on Friday, Nov. 29.

Tags on the Giving Tree are limited to children ages newborn to 18 years of age, senior citizens ages 65 and over, and all recipients live with the Ritzville, Lind, Washtucna and Benge communities.

Ornaments can be selected from the tree during regular business hours at Sterling Bank. The bank is located at 108 East First Avenue in Ritzville.
