For your donation of $60, we will send a Christmas tree valued at $110+ in your name to a military family through the Trees for Troops program.
Please write a short message in the Comment Section during the checkout process for the family that will receive the Christmas tree donated by you. We will write your message on the gift tag that will be attached to the tree(s) being donated by you.
Enter your address in the Ship To field during checkout in order to complete your order: when we process your donation, we will mark it for Trees for Troops.
Any donations for Christmas trees received after Thanksgiving will be processed as a donation for the following year.

2024: was the 20TH YEAR FOR TREES FOR TROOPS! Nationally, 16,629 trees were donated in 2024 to military families! The Grand total for Trees for Troops through 20 years of providing real Christmas trees to military families is 326,273 Christmas trees!
The 2024 Trees for Troops Loading Event at Wahmhoff Farms was held on Monday, December 2nd. We had a record number (about 120 people!) here for the loading event. 363 donated Christmas trees were loaded onto two FedEx trailers, which shipped to Columbus AFB in MS, and Fort Knox and Fort Campbell in KY. Merry Christmas from Michigan!
The Christmas trees were donated by Wahmhoff Farms, many patriotic community members, and the following Michigan Christmas Tree Growers:
Armintrout’s of West Michigan
Badger Evergreen
Circle B Tree Farm, and
Janke Tree Farm
As always, ❤ Gobles Elementary students and staff helped by filling out tags that were attached to every tree, and the kindergarteners made handmade ornaments so the families would have a handmade ornament from Michigan to decorate their tree with!
