Thank you to all the great Gardner’s Spot Customers that contributed to our Trees for Troops program while buying there Christmas items. And a special thanks to the US Military men and women that choose to “pay it forward” so another fellow soldier could get their tree at no charge!! We finished the year giving 549 trees out to these deserving men and women thanks to the generosity of our community!
We had the Lt Governor Karyl Polito, Massachusetts secretary of Veterans Services, Francisco Urena, along with our Rep Stephan Hay, Senator Dean Tran, and Fitchburg Mayor Stephan DiNatale all in attendance.
We provided over 60 trees with the assistance of the Bruins Foundation and our year end total was 549 trees provided at no charge to our US Military men, women and families.
Saturday, Dec. 1 was by far the busiest single day Trees for Soldiers has had in the eight years we have been doing it at The Gardener’s Spot. At one point the cars were three deep and cars were waiting to come in.
