Fargo firms donate holiday trees to families in need

Fraser, Ltd. has opened its annual Festival of Trees to the public at the FARGODOME. The event runs from October 30 through December 4. It is staffed by Fraser employees and features displays created by local sponsors.

The core purpose of the showcase is practical rather than decorative. Proceeds from the event support Fraser, Ltd. community programs. These funds help provide Christmas trees to local families facing financial hardship. Every tree on display will be donated to a family in need once the event concludes on December 4.

Visitors can participate in two specific donation drives while touring the venue. Fraser, Ltd. is collecting personal care items for its Art of Humanity initiative. Donors can place supplies at a designated tree inside the dome or drop them off at Fraser offices at 2902 S. University Drive. The company also hosts a Santa mailbox where children can mail letters to the North Pole.

The FARGODOME is located at 1800 N. University Dr. in Fargo. The display is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Local businesses, community organizations, and area families sponsored and decorated the individual trees for the showcase.

The event serves as a direct link between local donors and recipients. It combines a public viewing experience with targeted charitable giving. Fraser, Ltd. manages the logistics of the tree distribution and the collection of hygiene supplies.
