Over the years PATCHEN has donated countless Christmas Trees and Wreaths to charities all around the Bay Area.
If you know of a worthy cause that you would like us to consider, please contact us.
School Programs
For over 20 years, PATCHEN, in partnership with a local real estate firm, has hosted an annual holiday outing in the Santa Cruz Mountains for more than 200 second graders from a nearby school. Many of these children, from low-income families, experience the mountains for the first time as they cut Christmas trees, plant seedlings, hear stories of PATCHEN’s history, and celebrate with Santa, candy canes, and carols.
Each year, PATCHEN donates truckloads of trees to families in need, supported by contributions from local businesses.
PATCHEN is one of hundreds of collection locations for Toys for Tots. Anyone donating a new, unwrapped toy receives a $5.00 discount on all purchases.
The PATCHEN gift shops offer these commemorative “challenge coins”, for $5.00 each – 100% of which goes to this very special cause.
The Toys for Tots connection extends to
Roaring Camp of Felton, for the Holiday Tree Walk.
PATCHEN subsidizes this special event with Christmas trees, which are decorated by Roaring Camp employees. Kids of all ages come from all over northern California to ride a steam train to the top of Bear Mountain.
