Nearly 1,000 real Christmas trees have been delivered to military families since 2005 as part of the national program of the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation, which donated its 100,000th tree during the Christmas of 2011. Gobles-based Wahmhoff Farms has been part of the program since it began and recently those involved learned it has been named one of 20 finalists in the Joining Forces Community Challenge, which recognizes organizations and individuals that have demonstrated a genuine desire to be of service to military families.
