Behind the Trees
I’ll start by saying I’ve always loved Christmas: the lights, the songs, the family time, and most importantly, the birth of Jesus. I’ve even been given the nickname Mr. Christmas because of my collection of Christmas suits! Then, one year, I had the realization that not everyone shared the same experience I did when it came to Christmas.
One Christmas, a member of our church gave us a list of children who would not have any presents and asked if we would buy them gifts. My heart sank, thinking of kids not getting presents!! I was all in.
“I even saw a Christmas tree drawn on a wall in one of the homes. My heart was broken.”
So, after all the presents were bought and wrapped, my buddy Jeremy and I went to make the deliveries. Then, another reality hit me...some of these kids didn’t have Christmas trees. I even saw a Christmas tree drawn on a wall in one of the homes. My heart was broken. In that moment, I knew I wanted to give away Christmas trees!
Vision and Goals
We envision a future where every child and family can celebrate the birth of Jesus with a Christmas tree. Our goal is to continue growing our reach each year, so every home can experience the full joy of Christmas.
Christmas is about celebrating the birth of Christ and sharing the joy and love with others. If you know a family without a tree this Christmas, you can make a difference!
