CUMC wants to help you celebrate the season with the beautiful sight and scent of a freshly-cut 6-8' Fraser Fir Christmas Tree.

We have purchased a total of 300 trees (100 of the 6'-7' trees and 200 of the 7'-8' trees) from the same tree supplier in Canada that we used last year (just north of Quebec City), and these trees will be available as pre-sale OR in-person sale.

Why Should You Buy Your Tree From Us?

Yes, you can purchase your Christmas tree from big box stores, but by purchasing from CUMC, you are supporting your neighbors in need! Since 2017, the proceeds from our Christmas tree sales (more than $20,000!) have helped bring food to the hungry in developing countries, shelter and financial assistance to those in need in and around Arlington County, and so much more. This year, all proceeds will go to New Hope Housing.

Where Do Your Trees Come From?

Trees are still at a premium this year—very hard to come by! We and another non-profit work together to purchase our trees from the same tree farm in Canada that we used last year, located just north of Quebec City and shipped directly to us. Working together, we are able to keep our costs down, and we pass the savings on to you!

Can I Pick Out My Own Tree?

Yes! Our tree lot will be open for you to pick your own tree, but we strongly recommend pre-purchasing your tree to make sure that we will have one (in the size you want) available for you!

How Do I Pick Up My Tree?

It is super easy to pick up your tree! We will be offering pickup on Nov. 25-26, Dec. 2-3, and December 9. Pre-purchase your tree online and bring your receipt with you to the lot for pickup. Show your receipt to a volunteer with a clipboard, then select your perfect tree. We’ll bale and tie your tree to your car. The whole process should take less than 20 minutes.

How Much Do The Trees Cost?

Our 6'-7' trees are $115 and our 7'-8' trees are $135. If you wish, you can make an additional donation to New Hope Housing when you purchase your tree.

Where Will the Proceeds Go?

This year, proceeds from the tree sales will go to New Hope Housing, the oldest and largest provider of shelter beds in northern Virginia. They have been providing a comprehensive, innovative array of services to homeless families and single adults since 1978.

How do I pre-pay for my tree?

All tree sales are online through CUMC's planning center portal. Go to the Christmas Tree Sale site and follow the instructions listed on that page.

Can someone else pick up my tree?

Yes, you can have someone else pick up your tree by providing them with your confirmation email.

Are You Selling Wreaths This Year?

We are selling wreaths this year -- but only in person on the lot when they are available. Be sure to ask if there are any available when you pick up your tree!

How Long Has CUMC Been Selling Trees?

Clarendon United Methodist Church has been selling Christmas trees since 2017, with all the proceeds supporting local and international aid organizations, including New Hope Housing, Arlington Thrive, Rise Against Hunger, and Wings of Caring.

How Many Trees Are You Selling?

We have ordered 300 6-8' Fraser Fir trees. These trees will be sold online on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the 300 trees have been sold, there will be no more.

What Is CUMC All About?

Clarendon United Methodist Church is an engaged and loving church community in the Ashton Heights neighborhood of Arlington. We are an active congregation of families, young professionals, older adults, children, and youth who strive each day as individuals and as a church family to Live the Love of Christ in everything we do.
