Why Should You Buy Your Tree From Us?
Why Should You Buy Your Tree From Us?
Yes, you can purchase your Christmas tree from big box stores, but by purchasing from CUMC, you are supporting your neighbors in need! Since 2017, the proceeds from our Christmas tree sales (more than $20,000!) have helped bring food to the hungry in developing countries, shelter and financial assistance to those in need in and around Arlington County, and so much more.

They have been providing a comprehensive, innovative array of services to homeless families and single adults since 1978; and Undue Medical Debt, an organization that buys down medical debt as medical debt continues to negatively impact the most financially vulnerable in the Commonwealth, and across the country for necessary and emergency medical procedures.
