Christmas Help: Donate or Receive a Christmas Tree

Connecting Families: Artificial Christmas Tree Donations

Many people just throw out their artificial Christmas trees to be picked up at the curb as trash. Donating artificial Christmas trees to low income families in need, or charitable organizations who service families in need, would be a wonderful way to help create a merry Christmas. Recycling artificial Christmas trees will also be beneficial for the environment by reducing the amount of trees sent to the landfill.

If you have an artificial Christmas tree (and Christmas lights) to donate (as instructed below), please leave a comment. I’ll be in touch to try to connect you with a family in need of a Christmas tree donation.

Families in Need of an Artificial Christmas Tree Donation

If you are a family in need of an artificial Christmas tree this year because you cannot afford a Christmas Tree, please leave a comment below. If I receive an offer of a Christmas tree donation in your area, I will attempt to connect you with the donor.

If you are a charitable organization who would like to receive artificial Christmas tree and Christmas lights donations to distribute to local families in need of assistance, please leave a comment below.

Include in the comment box below:

  • contact name
  • email
  • town/city
  • state
  • family or charitable organization
  • name of organization
  • donor or recipient

Once I receive your comment, I will respond by email for further information. I hope, together, we will be able brighten up Christmas for many children this year.

Disclaimer: I am unable to assist in the delivery of the trees nor contribute any financial assistance. My role is to only connect donors and recipients, if possible. I am not responsible for anything beyond that.

    I am a single mother of two children; a boy of 4 yrs. of age and a girl of 8 years of age. We are victims of domestic violence. I work full time and live on my own with my children and try to make it day to day. I need help this year to provide my little ones with a christmas tree and a very few amount of gifts through this time of need. If you can help me please let me know. It would put great joy on my babies face.

    Thank you so very much for this website! I didnt think there was such a thing as recycling trees. I am a single mother of a 2yr old little girl and we are struggling to just keep the basics going. We are living on $300 a month. We are very grateful that I got a grant to start college this January! I am so so excited. I was able to get by without a Christmas tree last year b/c the baby was still so young but this year I really want her to have one. I live in Toms River. With or without “things” this Christmas just remember that we have our little angels to keep us going! Mommy loves you Ava!

  • Kristen Doby said:

    Hi, My name is Kristen I just turned 22 years old. I have a daughter who is almost two, and am expecting a boy at the end of November. My husband just got done with school and is currently looking for employment. We have no extra money again this year to celebrate christmas, wehave just enough money to get necessities for our son. Last year my daughter was too young to know the difference but this year seems to be different. We live in Tulsa OK and any assistance would be great. I dont know exactly what im doing when it comes to finding help, and alot of the programs I have tried for we dont qualify because my husband was a student this year. So any assistance would be great or even just directing me to someone who might be able to help.
    Thankyou. state: Oaklahoma

    Hi my name is Kelly Eskew,

    The past two years have been a tramatic time for my family. I have been copeing with Lupus, Sjogrens syndrome, as well as Parknsons disease. Last year I had a stroke at the age of 29, I am no longer to seek employment anymore and am reaching out to find someone who can help us have a great Christmas. I have never had to ask for help before but nw is a crucial time, my family deserves a wonderful holiday since they have given their all to helping me to fight these hard times…..All I want isfor the two children to have the time of their lifes this year, they derserve it so very much. Any help that you could give us would be greatly appreciated!
