County Supervisor Roberta MacGlashan will help the Sacramento Association of REALTORS® celebrate the 29th year of CanTree.
Each year, local REALTORS® build “trees” entirely of canned goods to raise funds and awareness for the Salvation Army.
On November 21 and 22, the CanTrees will be constructed at The Secret Garden in Elk Grove and the Sunrise Mall. At the association’s Main Meeting on December 6, Supervisor MacGlashan will join hundreds of area REALTORS® as the check from this year’s fundraising efforts is presented to the Salvation Army.
The Christmas CanTree Project raised $80,000 in 2010. Since 1983, SAR has raised more than $2 million to feed Sacramento’s hungry citizens.
The food donated will be distributed to needy families and individuals through The Salvation Army’s Holiday Food Basket and year-round food assistance programs. More than 165,000 local individuals are expected to benefit from the food contributed through CanTree, according to The Salvation Army. CanTree is a critical factor in successfully feeding thousands of people at Christmas time.
The Christmas CanTree is sponsored by SAR, but many organizations and individuals contribute to its success through donations of food, money, or goods and services.
