Join Us In Supporting “Trees for Troops”!!
1867 E. Chub Lake Road Trees for Troops is a nationwide campaign to distribute REAL Christmas Trees to military families around the world. Started through the efforts of the National Christmas Tree Association, it is coordinated through their charitable branch, The Christmas SPIRIT Foundation. Since 2005, Trees for Troops has grown from 4300 trees donated by Christmas tree farms to 17,224 trees donated in 2010 by Christmas tree farms and their customers. With last year’s donations, the grand total sent to military bases, stateside and overseas, is 83,957. The goal for 2011 is to reach the 100,000th tree shipped!! With the cooperation of Christmas tree farms and their customers, this is a very realistic goal. FedEx partners by shipping all the trees free of charge, which includes those shipped air freight to bases overseas!! Chub Lake Tree Farm has donated trees from the beginning and we have agreed again to participate as a collection site for donated trees. We are committed to load 100 or more trees on a FedEx trailer by the weekend of December 3rd & 4th, and hope you might help us reach that goal. With each tree purchased for the military families, we will donate $5.00 to The Christmas SPIRIT Foundation to help support this program. In addition, this year Chub Lake Tree Farm is donating Christmas trees to local families of those on active duty. Several members of the local National Guard Unit “Crazy Troop 1-94 CAV” are now serving in Kuwait and Iraq. You can help us say “Thank You” and “Merry Christmas” to our soldiers and their families by choosing one of the following options:
We have invited National Guard unit “Crazy Troop 1-94 CAV” to join us on December 3rd & 4th for a special weekend. In past years, they have given of their time tagging and loading trees and sharing their military experiences with the customers. We look forward to seeing you at our farm if you can make it, and we appreciate your help in any way you can! |
