Every kid deserves the Magic of Christmas!

How It Started and How It Is Going...
Lizie’s Trees 4 Needs was founded by me (Lizie) when I was in the 2nd grade. I wrote, drew and shared my ideas, as you can see to the left, and asked for some help. That’s how it all began. We started by asking our community for donations, which we used to purchase Christmas trees, stars, boxes of ornaments, and even the hooks to hang them up. Afterwards, we spoke to the guidance counselor at my school to identify families in need of Christmas trees. The guidance counselor reached out to a few families and informed us of the number of Christmas sets needed. That year, we blessed five families. The following year, we doubled our efforts and provided ten Christmas sets. We then expanded to other elementary schools in Collier County. One year, a middle school teacher even got her class involved in raising money for Lizie’s Trees 4 Needs! As of 2025 we now are a non-profit organization for the 2nd year and we are working to develop a partnership with Walmart. Our goal for the year of 2025 is that 50 sets will be donated to many CCPS elementary schools!
Our Mission...
LiziesTrees4Needs believes that every family deserves to be blessed with a Christmas tree during the holidays. No child should miss out on the tradition of having a bright, and colorful Christmas tree with a star on top to decorate with their family. We decided to start doing this so we can get as many people as possible to experience the Christmas magic regardless of their situation.
Recognition...
In September 2025 Lizie received the "Do the Right Thing" Award from the City of Naples for her contribution to the community!
This is our 10 Year Anniversary for Lizie's Trees 4 Needs
making this recognition even more special!
How It works...
We fundraise and reach out to our community and collect donations and afterwards we purchase as many Christmas sets as we can. We then reach out to Collier County school counselors and see how many families could use a Christmas tree set and we hand them out between Thanksgiving and Christmas break.
