Miles In The Morning
We already know of several great ways to give your Christmas tree a second life after the holiday season, but a man in Central Texas may have the best solution of them all.
Through his Canes for Veterans Central Texas organization, Jamie Willis takes your old Christmas trees and converts them into canes for his fellow veterans.
Since 2016, he's created more than 200 canes for veterans all across the country.
"The whole process, it's just done off donations. I make the canes myself. Everything's done out of pocket,” Willis said.
This holiday season, rather than throw your tree out, Willis implores donations to his organization. Not only does Willis help veterans, he'll make canes for anyone who needs one, totally free of charge.
If you live in Central Texas, you can drop your tree off at 2001 Jesse Dr. Copperas Cove, Texas. Canes for Veterans Central Texas can also be reached at 254-394-3150.
