Members of the Hood River Lions Club are again volunteering to pick up Christmas trees for recycling, starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 11.
Club volunteers will cover all streets within the City of Hood River. Additionally, pickup crews will cover the Stonegate, Frankton Park and Summitview areas off of Frankton Road, and the streets off of Avalon Drive.
Please have your trees at the curb by 9 a.m. Volunteers will make only one pass in each area and move to the next.
Sometimes trees are missed because of parked vehicles blocking our view or other reasons. If we miss you, please leave a comment on the Hood River Lions Facebook page or send us a message on the Facebook page and we’ll make sure it gets picked up.
The club asks that you remove all lights, other decorations and stands, as these trees will be recycled into mulch.
If club members can identify the residence from which the tree came, someone will contact you, or leave a donation envelope if you’re not home.
Donations can also be mailed to: Hood River Lions Club, PO Box 860, Hood River, OR 97031.
Donations to the club for this effort goes into its Community Fund and is returned to the community in a variety of ways.
The Hood River Lions Club Our Club hopes to raise more than $50,000 this fiscal year, most of which will support programs for the benefit of Hood River County residents.
Thank you for your support.
