Christmas Tree Sales in Abingdon to Benefit Orphan Children

Christmas tree sales in the Boulevard at Box Hill this holiday season will benefit foster children.

Proceeds generated by the “Miracle Trees” Christmas tree lot will help nonprofit Kidsave find families for older orphans (10 to 13 years old), who have a lower likelihood of being adopted.

This summer, the organization connected 16 children with families in Maryland and Washington, DC, by bringing them to places where they could visit with families who may be interested in adopting them. The program is called “Summer Miracles,” and all 16 children are in the process of being adopted. Proceeds from the Christmas trees sold in Abingdon will go toward the summer program.

“Summer Miracles and other programs like Miracle Trees are more than initiatives. They’re life-changing events,” Kidsave International Co-Founder Terry Baugh said.

The Abingdon lot filled with ”Miracle Trees” will be open daily starting Nov. 29.

All trees are freshly cut at the nearby Jones Family Farm in Edgewood, according to the Boulevard at Box Hill. They are tax-deductible.

The Kidsave Miracle Trees Christmas tree lot will open Nov. 29 across from Wegmans in the Boulevard at Box Hill. It will be open from 4 to 8 p.m., Monday to Friday; and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
