Canaan Fir Destined for Kuwait
Each year the Ohio Christmas Tree Association (OCTA) organizes Operation Evergreen to send live Christmas Trees to military personnel serving overseas. http://ohiochristmastree.org/octa-giving-back/
This is the second year that students at Sts. Peter and Paul School in Wellston raised funds to ship one of the trees to Kuwait, made homemade ornaments and cards, and selected trees to be sent to the troops.
These three trees were cut this evening and made the first leg of their long journey to Kuwait. They will be inspected and packaged (along with the decorations) in Reynoldsburg tomorrow.
If your organization is interested in helping to raise funding for shipping ($160 per tree) or would like to supply decorations for a tree next year, feel free to contact us.

That’s so wonderful! My boyfriend is there. This is his second deployment in 2 years. Him and his troops will love it! Thanks so much for all you do….
