The sixth annual Festival of Trees fundraiser for Christian Action Ministries will be held November 3 through December 3 at the Branson Landing to help with food shortages for Taney County residents.
The storefront will be open 12 pm to 6 pm, Sunday through Thursday and 10 am to 8 pm on Fridays and Saturdays at Suite 216 on the Landing. The annual fundraiser offers visitors and community members a Christmas wonderland full of creatively decorated trees, wreaths and Christmas décor.
Area businesses, churches, civic groups and individuals partner with the food pantry by sponsoring a tree or wreath. Hundreds of items will be on display for purchase. The public will also be able to vote on the People’s Choice tree again this year.
Christian Action Ministries has served to combat food insecurity in Taney County since 1984. Each year, more than 40,000 individual cases of assistance are recorded – meaning nearly 500,000 meals provided in the more than two million pounds of food distributed. The food pantries are funded by donations from individuals, churches, and businesses in the community, and staffed by the dozens of volunteers who contribute their time and talents to serve their neighbors.
