Our mission is to support U.S. troops serving in war zones who can’t be home for the holidays. We want to let our soldiers know that they are not forgotten. We provide Christmas trees and other items that will help them during their deployment, especially during the holiday season. Most of us are connected to family or friends who have served our country and we remember the time that they were away. Every day away from home can be difficult but it’s even more so for those serving in war zones during the holidays. An item such as a small decorated tree is a visual reminder that the folks at home are thinking of our troops. Each year we collect and send trees and Christmas stockings filled with food, snacks, candy and personal care items, along with hundreds of hand-signed Christmas/holiday cards to our soldiers. For 2016, Trees for America’s Troops’ goal is to send at least 150 24” lighted, decorated Christmas trees, 200 to 300 filled Christmas stockings, gift bags and cards to our deployed and hospitalized troops in the Middle East. These items will be shared among - and bring joy to – approximately 800 soldiers. “Trees” is a not-for- profit corporation, founded and led by a dedicated group of volunteers. There are no employees. We are totally dependent upon donations from the community, clubs and organizations, businesses and any patriot who wants to “do something” for our deployed troops at Christmas. Over the next few months we will be participating in other fund raising activities in the community. Our biggest Trees for America’s Troops event will take place on November 11 and 12, when scores of volunteers of all ages will come together to make “Trees” a reality. You will find more information about the big event on this page. We are asking you to help make the holidays brighter for the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect our freedom. Read on to learn the story behind “Trees” and how you can help bring joy to our troops. God bless America. And God bless you for caring for those who are in harm’s way every day of the year.
