People for People tree sale Saturday

Those looking to add some green to their homes for the holidays can check out the People for People Backpack Program Tree Lot Sale on Saturday, Nov. 19 at Thermopolis Middle School.

Judy Carswell with People for People noted the sale is the fundraiser for the Backpack Program, which provides kids in need with food to see them through the weekends.

The trees will be up for silent auction all day so people can come, look and bid. Carswell said it's amazing the amount of output she sees from the volunteers.

This year, Carswell is also incorporating some pre-made wreaths to sell on Facebook, to allow those who can't make it to the silent auction the chance to own a wreath. Those sold online have a set price of $25. Also this year, she said, they will have some tress specifically for outside.

Carswell said about $10,000 to $12,000 is spent annually on the backpack program, and last year the Tree Lot Sale made over $5,000. Trees can be delivered and set up the day after the auction, should auction winners request it.

The auction will be 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the middle school, though people are encouraged to come and check them out in the days leading up to the event.
