A Montana nonprofit isn’t just spreading cheer this Christmas season, it’s also spreading hope. They’re using proceeds from their Christmas tree sales to fund addiction recovery programs throughout Billings.
A Season of Giving
This time of year, we are often reminded of the generosity of spirit many people show to their communities. One example is what is happening in Montana’s largest city, Billings, where the focus isn’t only on holiday decorations but also on helping others.
The proceeds of the 5th annual Christmas tree sale are to be used to raise awareness about addiction and to fund recovery across Billings and throughout the state.
So far, 800 Christmas trees have been delivered as part of the Billings Adults and Teen Challenge program. The program also raises money year-round through various activities and fundraisers. They have a heart for treatment and the Faith Chapel Christmas tree sales are a big part of funding.
Supporting Affordable Recovery Programs in Montana
The Adult and Teen Challenge specialized program includes work experience that allows guests to find jobs and become productive members of society. They’re all about encouragement and building self-esteem.
The Christmas tree sales are crucial, as last year they raised almost $50,000 to help the community. The sales will go toward funding needed for next year, helping to start the year off strong.
As more people hear about the two lots where they can buy trees, the opportunities grow to help more of those who desperately need assistance getting on the right track.
The program also uses this time as a chance for connection and reaching out to people who may need joy this time of year. It allows time for them to tell visitors about the program and how the Christmas tree lots are helping people within the Billings community.
Stories like this remind us how exceptional the human spirit can be, especially during the Christmas season. There are many programs like this around the country that provide essential resources for recovery during the holidays.
