About Us
The Giving Tree has provided a safe, comfortable, clean/sober, living environment for women since we opened our doors to the community in March of 2003. It is our purpose to assist women to recreate their lives after the painful confusion of substance abuse and dependency.
We started as a small grassroots organization located in downtown Santa Barbara and we have remained that way. Countless women have come through our doors. We are not a large corporation. We are the real deal.
“It's been a labor of love and my life's purpose”.
