After careful consideration, the board has made the difficult decision to retire the Shining Light Tree Lot this year. This decision was not made lightly, as the Tree Lot has brought joy to many for the last 72 years. Unfortunately, after careful analysis, it became apparent that the Tree Lot has not been yielding the results we need. By retiring the Tree Lot, we can redirect our focus and resources towards more efficient and impactful fundraising initiatives. It will alleviate the strain on our staff, freeing up valuable time and energy to invest in more productive areas of organizational growth and development.
We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us. From volunteers to loyal customers, your enthusiasm and dedication have been truly inspiring. Though the Tree Lot will be missed, we’re thrilled to explore new opportunities and traditions that will continue to bring our community together.
In honor of the Shining Light Tree Lot and everyone who made this event possible, we will be unveiling a Commemorative Display at the Center to honor the legacy of the Tree Lot. And for all your holiday tree, wreath, and roping needs, please visit Daniel’s Farm in St. Peters, MO. This family farm has been a loyal DGCKids partner for decades.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to celebrating the upcoming holiday season with traditions old and new.
