Wahmhoff Farm Nursery in Gobles, Michigan is making sure this is not a problem for military families. Volunteers of the farm are donating hundreds of trees to military personnel and their families to celebrate Christmas.

Dan Wahmhoff said in an interview that it fills him with joy to be able to give the families a sense of being home for the holidays.

The farm holds a Trees for Troops event each year. Thanks to the efforts of volunteers six hundred trees will soon arrive at the marine base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.

Dan explains that his farm is only one of the farms taking part in the tree giveaway. Dan says his farm is centrally located in Michigan so other farms in the state send their trees to him.
