Each holiday season, The Wellspring offers everyone a way for you to Share the Spirit – by sponsoring a light on the Winnsboro community Christmas tree to honor or remember a loved one. Those recognized are also listed in the Franklin Sun, at the Community Tree Lighting Ceremony on Tuesday, November 29th at 6:00 pm in Patriot Square, notified of the gift by a personal card, and celebrated with an ornament on The Wellspring's tree on the Trail of Trees (a previous year's tree at right). Here are the names of those honored or remembered this year. Funds donated to sponsor lights are used to benefit homeless families in Franklin Parish.
