Project Tannenbaum
​
This goal of this project is to collect artificial trees and holiday ornaments to be given out to families during the holiday season. In addition they will be seeking donations of live trees from local service organizations and businesses.
​
A family can only receive one artificial tree from Tannenbaum. If a family received an artificial tree in prior years, they cannot get another tree in future years. They can get ornaments, etc.. Families that received a coupon for a live tree can get a coupon for a live tree every year, in addition to ornaments.

​​Project Tannenbaum 2025 Thanks!
.The Great Christmas Tree Drop Off was a huge success. We collected 18 trees in all different sizes as well as decor, lights, wreaths, ornaments and more! We are well on our way to being prepared for our 2026 distribution night! Thank you to everyone who dropped off donations.
​
Project Tannenbaum’s distribution night was also a great success! 76 families received artificial trees, live tree gift certificates, tree stands, ornaments, lights, wreaths, garland, tree skirts and stockings! Our very generous Mechanicsburg community continues to donate these items year after year! Many, many thanks to Boy Scout Troop 80 and to Elliott’s Christmas Tree Farm for their donation of the live trees at a discounted price! We are so grateful for the volunteers who helped sort, organize and distribute all of the items ~ Joyce Kearns, Anna May Nauss, Lexi Levelsberger, Brandi Gesell, Elaine Peebles, Julia Miller, Brynne Bolling, Rick Herring, Courtney Gross, Bill Richie, Teresa Jones, Gail Perez, Maureen Ross, Suzan Donovan, Nora Gulden, Stephanie Shirey and Janice Deveney! It really does “take a village” ..... and what a beautiful “village” we have right here in Mechanicsburg!
