COTS Christmas Tree Sale Returns to Burlington’s City Market
BURLINGTON, Vt. – The cherished COTS Christmas tree sale is back for its 27th year at Burlington’s City Market, offering locally grown trees from a Craftsbury farm. Each tree is priced at $60, with all proceeds going to the Committee on Temporary Shelter (COTS), which provides essential shelter and long-term housing for individuals transitioning out of homelessness.
This annual event not only supports those in need but also has a unique environmental component. For every tree sold, the Intervale Foundation plants a tree in the wetlands, promoting sustainability and ecological health. "It’s a win, win, win," said Jonathan Farrell of COTS. "The money stays in the state, it’s all local, and it benefits good causes like us while helping to take care of the Earth that supports us."
This year, the downtown City Market quickly proved its popularity by selling out in just three days. The South End City Market location commenced sales on Friday, contributing to the community’s ongoing support for COTS and its mission.
The COTS Christmas tree sale stands as a testament to the power of local initiatives in fostering community welfare and environmental stewardship. Residents are encouraged to participate and support this heartwarming holiday tradition, which emphasizes both community service and ecological responsibility.
For more information about purchasing a tree or supporting COTS, visit their website or contact City Market directly. Don’t miss the opportunity to bring joy to your home this holiday season while making a positive impact in the community.
