Trees for Troops
Come to any of our 8 Mahoney’s locations between Nov. 11th and Dec. 4th and purchase a 7’ Balsam Fir Christmas Tree to donate to a military family. Your donated tree will be picked up and shipped by FedEx to one of over 60 military bases across the country and overseas.
It only costs $24.50 to donate a tree and in addition, Mahoney’s will make a $5.00 donation to the Children’s Christmas Fund for every tree donated by our customers and will provide a card for you to write a personal message to the recipient of your donated tree.
