This year, for the first time, in addition to selling Christmas trees, Follen is hoping to donate some to needy families.

Would you like to contribute to the effort?

1. Give a check in any amount to the tree sellers, marked “donate trees.” Or send it in to Sarah at Follen.

2. Spread the word. Let people know that needy families should contact Kristie Demirev, Lexington’s youth and families social worker, who can decide about eligibility and give out coupons for trees. (781) 698-4843.
