Branson, MO – The sixth annual Festival of Trees fundraiser for Christian Action Ministries will run November 3rd- December 3rd at the Branson Landing to help with food shortages for Taney County residents, organizers have announced.

The storefront will be open 12 pm- 6pm, Sunday through Thursday and 10:00 am to 8 pm on Fridays and Saturdays at Suite 216 on the Landing. The annual fundraiser offers visitors and community members a Christmas wonderland full of creatively decorated trees, wreaths and Christmas décor.

Area businesses, churches, civic groups and individuals partner with the food pantry by sponsoring a tree or wreath. Hundreds of items will be on display for purchase. The public will also be able to vote on the People’s Choice tree again this year.

“We are especially excited for this year’s Festival of Trees event. We have several new and returning sponsors,” said Michele Dean, executive director at Christian Action Ministries. “Our desire is to continue making a connection between the Festival of Trees and the food pantry, bringing a deeper understanding of the impact the event has on helping our neighbors.”

Those wanting to volunteer for the tree festival can sign up by contact Dean directly at [email protected].
