    Another Successful Year Participating in PA Trees 4 Troops

    Recently, during the annual winter meeting of the Pennsylvania Christmas Tree Growers Association (PCTGA), Maj. Gen. Laura McHugh, deputy adjutant general - Army, thanked the members for their participation in the PA Trees 4 PA Troops program. This program is a collaboration between the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) and the PCTGA to provide donated Christmas trees to veterans and service members in need. This past holiday season, 75 trees were generously donated by Christmas tree farms across the commonwealth. Pictured with McHugh is Paige and Chris Arader of Arader Farm in Collegeville. The Arader Farm has been a tremendous supporter of the PA Trees 4 PA Troops program since its inception.
