FORT HOOD, Texas — FedEx Freight will deliver more than 500 real Christmas trees to military families at 8 a.m. December 11 at Hood Stadium as part of the Trees for Troops program.
To stay within COVID-19 safety procedures, a change has been made for this year’s giveaway. Recipients must get a voucher with a designated time slot at the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers Headquarters (Bldg. 9212) before to December 11.
Vouchers are available from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. weekdays at the BOSS HQS for E1-E4 Soldiers and Families until December 4.
After December 4, military active duty or dependent identification cardholders may get a voucher while supplies last.
The voucher must be presented on the day of the event to receive a tree. Social distancing and masks are required when picking up a tree.
