The Canyon County Festival of Trees will be a virtual event this year due to rising COVID-19 cases and statewide Crisis Standards of Care.
According to a news release, the virtual auction, which will include Christmas trees, wreaths, gift baskets and vacations as prizes, will take place from Nov. 24 to Nov. 30.
The Idaho Press reports all funds will benefit Nampa and Caldwell Meals on Wheels programs.
A Festival Board Member and Caldwell Meals on Wheels Coordinator said the need in the Caldwell area alone has increased by 30 percent, so Caldwell Meals on Wheels now needs at least 10 more volunteers to add more delivery routes to meet demands.
Trees will be delivered on Dec. 2. Anyone who wants to sponsor a tree, wreath, basket or getaway for the auction can reach out to Jeff Dunlap at 208-860-7608 or Katie Dallas at [email protected]
