Festival of Trees - December 7 & 8 - 2018

Festival of Trees is a fundraising event that helps support Friends of the Homeless of the South Shore and the Hingham Women's Club Scholarship Fund.

Each year, the Hingham Women’s Club, Inc. awards scholarships to high school seniors residing in Hingham who will be entering an accredited college/university for a two- or four-year course of study.  We will award three $2,000 scholarships to students who are Hingham residents. 
The Friends of the Homeless of South Shore provide tremendous services to our local families in need.  Last year we were able to donate over $10,000 to this amazing local organization. The funds raised at Festival of Trees for Friends of the Homeless of the South Shore are used in a myriad of ways to support homeless families.    ​

Sometimes it's fixing a car, a shared cup of coffee, or an Uber ride to an appointment that prevents homelessness again.

For less than $250, we can replace two tires so a mom can get to work reliably...
For less than $125, we can pay for a course that helps a mom get a better job...
For less than $20, we can pay for a taxi to an interview...
For less than $5, we can pay for coffee and start a much needed conversation with a counselor...
 Festival of Trees takes place during Christmas in the Square in Hingham Friday, December 7th and Saturday, December 8th. Christmas in the Square, organized by the Hingham Downtown Association, and is a Hingham holiday tradition for thousands of residents and South Shore neighbors.

Over 30 beautifully decorated trees and dozens of raffles, which are made up of donations by individuals, groups, and businesses, will be on display to the public and available for silent auction.
