Give Back In Moorestown This Holiday With 'Trim-A-Tree Challenge'

MOORESTOWN, NJ — A local nonprofit is hoping five days and a small Christmas tree will help Moorestown-area families in need this holiday.

The Local Acts of Kindness Foundation, which was started by the DiPasquale family, is a grassroots organization bringing neighbors together " for the purpose of practicing kindness towards others, within their own communities and beyond."

Their Trim-A-Tree Challenge encourages neighbors to decorate a holiday tree in five days with $5 gift cards and words of encouragement for local families in need. The Local Acts of Kindness Foundation will drop off a table-top tree to homes and businesses within 10 miles of ZIP code 08057, and and picked up 5 days later.

"Families in need are identified by other nonprofits in the area, who have a pulse on the needs of the community during this holiday season," the Local Acts of Kindness Foundation said.

Photos of participating residents and/or businesses will be posted to the foundation's website, LocalActs.org, if desired.

To request a tree drop-off, email your address to LAOKfoundation@gmail.com.

The Trim-A-Tree Challenge collection ends on Dec. 22.
