Support Troops & Their Families This Christmas!

Trees for Troops, a program of the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation and FedEx Corp., is preparing to kick off its holiday season, with plans to deliver over 16,000 Real Christmas Trees to military service members and their families throughout the United States and overseas.

To help support our military, about 100 trees are donated by the Richardsons and customers of the farm each year as part of the nationwide program to deliver trees to troops. We also spend the day at Great Lakes Naval Station helping service men and women choose their perfect tree.

We have several collection boxes on the farm where you may donate money to support the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation. You may also purchase a tree to add to our donation and in addition, add your personal message on a card that we will provide.

The Christmas SPIRIT Foundation

Donate a tree for $60 plus tax - our special reduced rate - by early December. The Fed Ex truck will be leaving our farm for Great Lakes Naval Base at the end of the first week in December.
