 The Family Safety Network is hosting a new fundraiser this year that will get the Hackensack community in the Christmas spirit. Lakeland News reporter Sarah Winkelman has more on the Parade of Trees. The Union Congregational Church in Hackensack will be transformed into a winter wonderland. Tomorrow is a great event we're doing a first time ever parade of trees. All of the trees, wreaths and other Christmas decorations were all made and donated by community members. It's incredible, we have a lot of talent in the north woods, that's all I can say. Individuals and local organizations donated items that will be auctioned off tomorrow at the parade of trees. I myself am not a crafter, so I'm in awe of some of these projects that people have done and donated. They look like they took a lot of time and effort and thinking about what their project was going to look like. And it's all for a good cause. The funds that we raised from this fundraising event will essentially go into our general fund to help fund the services that we provide. We're a 24 hour crisis organization. Surrounded by communities with creative hands and giving hearts. Family Safety Network is doing a very needed service in this community without as much funding as they could use and so this will help them out a lot. Even though organizer Barb says she wishes the organization didn't need to exist, she is glad they are there to help and support the community. This issue of domestic violence is huge and unfortunately it seems to grow. The Family Safety Network is hoping to raise awareness through their new Christmas tradition. Reporting in Hackensack, Sarah Winkleman, Lakeland News. The parade of trees will run tomorrow from 9 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon.
