Phinney’s Angels Tree Celebration Kicks Off as Part of Lincoln Arts Show 2021 to Help Raise Money for Pets in Need

Phinney’s, a Massachusetts nonprofit celebrating 25 years of helping low-income people keep their pets, will launch its Holiday activities at the Lincoln Arts Show 2021. The event, organized by Lincoln Parks and Recreation Department, will take place Nov. 5-7 from  12 p.m to 5 p.m. at the Pierce House. 

Phinney’s will be there on Saturday and Sunday, selling hand-painted Holiday ornaments and Department 56 ceramic houses to support the neediest pets in its program. 

That will also be the weekend that Phinney's will light up Phinney's Angels Tree on the grounds of the historic mansion. The plump blue spruce will be decorated with hand-painted ornaments of 15 pets in need and will welcome more ornaments as the Holiday season progresses.

During the Arts Show, people will be able to purchase Phinney’s watercolor ornaments to take home, give to others, or hang on the tree outside. After the event, the ornaments will be sold at phinneys.org. People can scan the QR code on the sign next to Phinney's Angels Tree to reach the website as well.

With a minimum $25 donation, the donor will get a holiday ornament of the sponsored pet, painted in watercolor, and may choose to either have the ornament hung on the Phinney’s Angels Tree, displaying a unique chosen message, to have it shipped to the donor or to anyone else, as a special Holiday gift.

“Phinney’s Angels Tree will hopefully offer a safe way to celebrate the spirit of giving while we still weather this pandemic,” says Daniela Caride, Phinney's president. “It will be a lovely outing for people who are going for walks, a picnic, or want to say a prayer for a loved one who touched their lives.”
