Courier-Leader: Paw Paw Tree Farm part of nationally recognized program

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Nearly 1,000 real Christmas trees have been delivered to military families since 2005 as part of the national program of the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation, which donated its 100,000th tree during the Christmas of 2011. Gobles-based Wahmhoff Farms has been part of the program since it began and recently those involved learned it has been named one of 20 finalists in the Joining Forces Community Challenge, which recognizes organizations and individuals that have demonstrated a genuine desire to be of service to military families.

“We love being able to be part of the Trees for Troops program,” said Betsy Wahmhoff Perales, of Wahmhoff Farms, told the Courier-Leader. “This is a great program which helps bring Christmas cheer and appreciation to military families during one of the most special — and often hardest — times of the year.”
