ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) – Christmas tree growers in Wisconsin are helping bring the holidays to service members.
The annual ‘Trees for Troops’ collection took place Tuesday in the Lambeau Field parking lot.
The trees were loaded onto FedEx trucks, which will deliver them to military families across the country, and those stationed overseas.
John Grutza is the co-owner of North Country Christmas Trees.
“I personally have family and friends that are serving in the military, along with numerous people in this industry who have served in the past. It makes us feel like we can do our small part to make them feel at home.”
Last season, more than 17,000 trees were delivered to a total of 63 military bases.
