Tree of Hope
Raising Money to Support Those In Need
New England Woodcarvers is proud to support people in need through our Tree of Hope program. Members and non-members have donated countless ornaments and other small wood carvings to the Tree over the years. The Tree of Hope travels to various craft fairs and carving shows, selling the donated carvings to raise money for programs that support veterans. ALL of the funds raised by the Tree of Hope go directly to the benefit of people in need.
What does the Tree of Hope mean to people, and why should you consider donating a carving?
Hope is complicated and individualized, meaning different things to different people. For some people, it is hope that there will be access to the services they need. Others hope for better understanding between them and their families for how to care for one another. Some hope they will be able to feed their families. Others only hope they will be able to find themselves again; to live and to laugh. Hope is a connection that binds us all.
Hope can be a driving force, but for those who have lost it, it becomes debilitating.
By contributing to the Tree of Hope, you are contributing to the organizations who work with people in need so they can achieve the best possible outcome of their lives.
How can you donate to the Tree?
The Tree of Hope’s best seller is ornaments, but we will accept any craft object that is not too big. We accept donations YEAR ROUND, so if you have something you’d like to donate, bring it to a Membership Meeting, or contact Darren Boehm at Darren@newc.org or (978)-657-0753.
Special Thanks
Very special thanks to Louis Dennis who was a big contributor to the Tree over the years.
