TREES FOR TROOPS OVERVIEW
FedEx is proud to be a part of the Christmas Spirit Foundation’s inaugural Trees for Troops program, as we begin to deliver the holiday spirit to families of activated troops. Beginning on November 15, 2005, FedEx and the Trees for Troops program will collect and deliver more than 3,000 freshly cut trees in the United States along three regional routes (West, Central, East). The trees have been donated by 19 family tree farms, members of the National Christmas Tree Association, from 15 different states ranging from Oregon to South Carolina. A dozen other farms will contribute trees and ornaments to the program at collection points in selected cities. The trees will be delivered via FedEx freight trucks to five U.S. military bases.
OPERATION EVERGREEN
Trees for Troops kicked off in Columbus, Ohio when FedEx joined forces with the Ohio Christmas Tree Association’s “Operation Evergreen” to collect, pack and ship more than 200 Christmas trees to soldiers serving abroad at military bases in Qatar, Afghanistan, and Kuwait. FedEx employees and community members volunteered to collect, package and prepare the 200 trees for their journey to Camp As Sayliyah in Doha, Qatar.
