Congregational Christmas tree sale benefits youth service projects

The Island Now

The Congregational Church of Manhasset is holding a Christmas tree sale Dec. 8 and 9 in the church courtyard. The money raised from this sale supports such events as last summer’s service trip to repair homes for residents in Houston affected by Hurricane Harvey.

On Friday night, youth will gather to set up for the sale. Students will be ready to open the doors at 9 a.m. Saturday morning. The tree sale is more than just a fundraiser for the youth program. The teens take part in every aspect of the sale from collecting the money to tying trees on top of customers’ cars. 

Customers have their choice of traditional balsams and Douglas firs in a variety of sizes. Snow, rain, or shine, the Saturday hours are 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. On Sunday morning, the sale begins after Worship at 11 a.m. and runs until 2 p.m. If any trees are left, they can be purchased during the week by calling 516-627-4911. The Congregational Church is located at 1845 Northern Boulevard in Manhasset.
