CJPVFD has raised funds by providing the community with Christmas trees for over 40+ years.

 

Our tree lot is all volunteer staffed!

(Yes the same volunteers who answer your 911 calls!) 

 

All receipts go directly to assist CJPVFD to defray the costs of running our nationally recognized fire and rescue services.

​

Our trees come from a family-run tree farm, Eliot’s Tree Farm, in  Pennsylvania. All trees are Douglas Fir, freshly cut and delivered the last weekend in November for freshness. The trees range in size from 5 feet to 12 feet so we can meet the various needs of our customers.  We recommend a donation in exchange for the trees based on the height (by the foot) and can offer delivery on a case by case basis. We wrap, trim and fresh cut each tree to your specifications and have a “tried and true recipe” to keep your tree fresh and safe throughout the Holiday season.
