TOWN OF TONAWANDA, N.Y. (WKBW) — A Christmas tree giveaway took place on Christmas Eve in the Town of Tonawanda.
The trees were given out in the back parking lot at 3200 Elmwood Avenue, the former Philip Sheridan School.
The trees were donated by Arida Tree Farms, Northtown Garden Center, Graeber & Sons Nursery, Russell’s Tree and Shrub Nursery, Lowe's Garden Center and Spoth Nursery.
"For over 40 years these Christmas trees have been donated for people in need during the Christmas holiday. It is important to all of us to provide a tree to people during some difficult times. We would like to recognize the two people involved in starting this program and continuing it for so many years. David Arida, who offered the free trees in 1982 which started this program and Mike Kolmar who continued helping with this tradition," a release from the Elmwood Commons says.
