This is the story of the wooden trees.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>On CBC television we watched the story of a man in Calgary who was making some extra money by building wooden trees and selling them to neighbours. We had some extra wood from one of Don\u2019s pandemic workshop projects this fall, so Don decided to make some trees as well.<\/p>\n<p>We took a picture of the wooden trees and invited interested folks to take a tree to decorate with their families. The trick was, however, that in order to have a wooden tree delivered to their home, they were asked to make a donation of any amount to The Table Soup Kitchen Foundation. Participants were asked to send us a photo of their decorated tree by December 21.<\/p>\n<p>All of a sudden, Don\u2019s workshop began to look like Santa\u2019s workshop the week before Christmas. People connected, some ordering three trees, and they were delivered to homes on December 14.<\/p>\n<p>The photographs began to arrive, as did the donations. One tree was delivered to Spruce Glen Public School where students in Kristin Higgs\u2019 grade 7\/8 class had collected food items for The Table. Over 1,800 food items were collected from the Spruce Glen community and delivered to The Table on December 18. Congratulations to those students.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_93003\" style=\"width: 760px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-93003\" class=\"size-full wp-image-93003\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/12\/Trees-5-Kristie-Hobbs-left-Greg-Tripp-and-Kristin-Higgs-delivered-food-items-to-the-Table-Soup-Kitchen..jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/12\/Trees-5-Kristie-Hobbs-left-Greg-Tripp-and-Kristin-Higgs-delivered-food-items-to-the-Table-Soup-Kitchen.-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/12\/Trees-5-Kristie-Hobbs-left-Greg-Tripp-and-Kristin-Higgs-delivered-food-items-to-the-Table-Soup-Kitchen.-630x386.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/12\/Trees-5-Kristie-Hobbs-left-Greg-Tripp-and-Kristin-Higgs-delivered-food-items-to-the-Table-Soup-Kitchen.-750x460.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2020\/12\/Trees-5-Kristie-Hobbs-left-Greg-Tripp-and-Kristin-Higgs-delivered-food-items-to-the-Table-Soup-Kitchen..jpg 750w\" alt=\"Kristie Hobbs (left), Greg Tripp, and Kristin Higgs delivered food items collected by Spruce Glen to The Table (supplied)\" width=\"750\" height=\"460\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-93003\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kristie Hobbs (left), Greg Tripp, and Kristin Higgs delivered food items collected by Spruce Glen to The Table (supplied)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>A number of people decorated their trees with their grandchildren.
