As the holiday season approaches, so does a variety of fresh trees at the Palisades-Malibu YMCA annual Tree Lot at Simon Meadow, which opens Friday, November 29 at 3 p.m.—a tradition that dates back decades.
“Generations of kids, parents, neighbors and friends have come to buy a tree and celebrate the season,” according to a previous poster.
The sale of trees—just like the YMCA’s Pumpkin Patch each October—acts as a fundraising event for YMCA, helping provide programs and financial assistance to families in need, and beyond.
“The YMCA Tree Lot is a YMCA fundraiser that helps supplement programs, our financial assistance program and many other impactful programs,” Palisadian Lou Kamer said to the Palisadian-Post.
The 2024 selection includes a variety of trees, like nobles, Nordmann and Fraser firs, ranging from table-top size to 14 feet tall. Special decorative items will also be available for sale, including wreaths, wooden reindeer and snowmen, and garland by the foot.
The Tree Lot will also offer tree disposal bags and a “keep it green” preservative to extend the life of the tree.
“Light up your home with a beautiful premium tree from the Y and help youth learn, grow and thrive,” according to the Y.
The lot—located at 15551 Sunset Boulevard—will be open Monday through Friday from 3 to 7 p.m., as well as Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Local delivery will be available.
