Wintersinger’s Tree Farm: Donate your Discount

This year, Wintersinger’s Tree Farm is asking their customers to help support the food bank by donating the value of their $2 tree coupon toward the EWCS food bank, after enjoying the experience and selecting that perfect Christmas Tree.

Customers have the option of pay the full price of the tree and then donate their $2 off coupon and, in turn, a monetary donation will be made to the food bank.

“The food bank is an incredible program and community resource for so many people,” stated Josie Wintersinger, who owns the 100-acre operation with her husband Albert.

“It’s incredible to think that more than 250 families in the area rely on the food bank for basic food needs and the thought of having a Christmas Tree may be considered a luxury. This is why we wanted to encourage our customers to donate their discount.”  

Wintersinger’s Tree farm is located at 5837 Third Line, Hillsburgh and is open daily until Dec. 22 from 9am to 5pm.
