The Festival of “Fostering” Trees is back for another year continuing our mission of raising awareness of and money for Maine foster kids while joining the entire community together by providing a beautiful festival of decorated Christmas Trees for you to definitely enjoy and hopefully win!
How can I participate? Donate a decorated artificial Christmas tree, any size, style or fashion, traditional or non-traditional, using any type of materials (be creative as trees will be judged) and the tree will be raffled off at the end of the festival. All trees will be set-up and decorated by the participants. Please write your tree’s name on your tree box. Extension cords are provided. Can I donate something else instead of a tree? Monetary donations & gift certificates are great ways to participate in the Festival & ALL items will be used appropriately.
Who receives the proceeds? The Festival of “Fostering” Trees (FOFT) supports youth who are involved in Maine’s Foster Care System. Our goal is to serve the unique needs of each youth in a supportive and cost effective manner, while easing the difficulties that they experience. Adoptive & Foster Families of Maine Inc. (AFFM), a support service for families in Maine has served as our fiscal agent since 2012.
