One of the biggest things we hope comes from Little Hands Big Trees has nothing to do with Christmas trees. ❤️
We hope another kid sees what Levi is doing and realizes, “I could do something too.”
Levi was only 12½ when Little Hands, Big Trees began last year. Like most things at that age, it started with an idea, lots of conversations, and some help from the grown-ups around him. 😊 But the heart behind it was his, and he worked hard. Together, we turned that little idea into 26 decorated Christmas trees delivered throughout our community our very first year. 🎄
And along the way, we learned something pretty special…
Kids don’t have to wait until they’re grown to make a difference.
This year, we want Little Hands, Big Trees to be about more than our own project. We want to encourage kids to look around their own communities and find ways to serve.
That’s one reason we’re excited to also be participating in Wreaths Across America this year. 🇺🇸❤️ It’s another opportunity for Levi to learn about service, gratitude, and honoring those who have given so much for us.
And we hope other kids will join in too.
You don’t have to create your own community project. You don’t have to have a bunch of money or some huge plan. Volunteer with something that already exists. Help collect donations. Visit someone who could use a little company. Help a neighbor. Serve through your church or school. Honor a veteran. Find something that matters to you and start there.
And parents, grandparents and other grown-ups—we have a part in this too. Sometimes kids just need someone to listen to their idea, help them figure out how to make it happen, and then stand beside them while they do the work.
Little Hands, Big Trees may be Levi’s project, but it has taken a whole lot of helping hands to make it possible, and we are incredibly thankful for every single one of them. ❤️
If there’s one thing we hope other kids learn from Levi’s journey, it’s this:
You don’t have to wait until you’re older.
You can start now.
Little hands really CAN make a BIG difference. 🎄❤️🇺🇸
