Christmas CanTree 2009

27 Years of Giving
This is the 27th year for CanTree, which is one of the major charitable efforts of the Sacramento Association of REALTORS^®. The Christmas CanTree Project routinely raises more than $65,000 per year. Since 1983, SAR has raised more than $2 million to feed Sacramento's hungry citizens.

What CanTree Does
The food donated will be distributed to needy families through The Salvation Army's Holiday Food Basket Program. Over 45,000 local families are expected to benefit from the food contributed through CanTree, according to The Salvation Army. The Army currently serves 36,000 meals per month in the Greater Sacramento Area. CanTree is a critical factor in successfully feeding thousands of people at Christmas time.

Why SAR Sponsors CanTree
Every REALTOR® knows that a healthy community is crucial to our success. All the money we raise for CanTree goes directly to the Salvation Army – none of it goes for administration or any other costs. Even though the real estate market has seen better days, enthusiasm is still very high and REALTORS® are as generous as ever.

CanTree Locations
The CanTree was constructed at two locations in 2009: The Country Club Plaza and and in old town Elk Grove.
