December 6, 2019, Friday - WCCO-TV’s Home for the Holidays Community Tree (2 days)
Time: 4 PM – 7:30 PM
Location: WCCO, 90 11th Street S
WCCO-TV’s Home for the Holidays Community Tree
This holiday season, WCCO is partnering with the Minnesota Assistance Council for Veterans (MACV) to bring awareness and support to veteran homelessness. MACV provides comprehensive programs and supportive services to homeless veterans. One of MACV’s biggest programs provides transitional homes to help veterans achieve self-sufficiency.
In 2017, WCCO created the Home for the Holiday’s Community Tree. Over the years, WCCO viewers have decorated our studio tree with ornaments from around the state. Then, before the holidays, WCCO delivers the tree to one of MACV’s transitional homes. We’re honored to continue the tradition, but make this year’s Community Tree bigger and better than ever… literally! Kicking off with a lighting ceremony on December 3rd, the tree will stand 16 feet tall outside of WCCO for everyone to enjoy this holiday season.
This is where you come in! Hang an ornament from your hometown on Friday, December 6th or Saturday, December 7th to help decorate the tree. There will be hot chocolate, cookies, music, selfies, WCCO meet and greets and an opportunity to thank veterans in our community. Stay tuned for more details!
