Buying a fresh-cut Christmas tree this year?
Today is the last day to pre-ordering your holiday tree or wreath through Food for Trees and help local families in need during the holidays!Participants are asked to pre-order Christmas trees and holiday wreaths by Sunday, November 24th through http://www.foodfortrees.org/. Trees are offered at over 50% off, in exchange for a pledge of $35 in food donations, benefitting Share of McLean and the food bank at McLean High School.
Orders will be available for pick-up on Saturday, December 7, 2013 between 10:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the Old Firehouse Teen Center in McLean, Virginia. The Teen Center will be open on Saturday for everyone to enjoy hot apple cider, hot chocolate and holiday treats, while kids will be able to decorate sugar cookies, play games and stay warm while the trees are loaded-up to go home for the holiday! Special appearances will be made by the McLean Youth Orchestra and Santa (atop the McLean Volunteer Fire Department’s Antique Fire Engine – from Noon until 2:00 p.m.). At that time, participants will drop off their food donations to be loaded into the Share truck on-site.
The alternative pick-up date is Sunday, December 8, 2013 from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Tree purchases are not required to participate, but we do encourage non-perishable food donations from the community.
