WHY BECOME A SPONSOR?
About Us
In 2023, Buy a Tree, Change a Life raised $2,455,189
through the sale of 15,865 Christmas trees, with 69
sites participating across 21 states. Our mission is
simple: 100% of the funds raised from tree sales go
directly to local and global missions. This initiative
not only spreads holiday joy through live tree sales but
also changes lives both in our community and
around the world.
I Care Family Services
Our local mission partner, I Care Family Services, is a licensed
child-placing agency serving foster children and families in Georgia.
They provide: Foster care and respite care for children in need.
Mental health counseling and parenting classes. Meal support
and a foster care closet for essential items. A volunteer care
community supporting foster and biological families
There are over 400,000 children in foster care in the U.S., with
11,000 in Georgia alone. I Care Family Services aims to provide
safe, loving homes where no child has to spend the night in a
hotel or government office because of a lack of family placement.
Serving Orphans Worldwide
Our global mission partner, Serving Orphans Worldwide (SOW),
ensures that 100% of every donation goes directly to orphan
care, with no administrative costs taken from the funds raised.
The proceeds from Buy a Tree, Change a Life support children
in Romania, Kenya, and Ukraine, providing food, education,
and spiritual care. In Ukraine, funds help children impacted by
war, while in Kenya and Romania, they create stable environments
for vulnerable children. Through these efforts, children are
not only given basic necessities but also the opportunity to
heal, grow, and build a better future. SOW nurtures the body,
mind, and spirit of every child, empowering them to thrive.
