Deck the Trees

Join us for our 15th Annual Deck the Trees Holiday Fundraiser!

December 5, 2025 - January 5, 2026

Now celebrating 15 years, Deck the Trees will once again bring holiday wonder to the Swannanoa Valley! This cherished fundraiser benefits the Swannanoa Valley Christian Ministry (SVCM) Fuel Fund, which helps our neighbors in need to keep their homes warm during winter.

This year’s theme, “Christmas in Music & Song,” will inspire more than 50 beautifully decorated trees in Swannanoa and Black Mountain. You’ll find many of them at Peri Social House, Tyson Furniture Company, White Horse Black Mountain, and Town Hardware & General Store - plus dozens of other local businesses decked out for the season.

How It Works

From December 5 to January 5, you can vote for your favorite tree(s) by donating. Vote as many times as you’d like. Every dollar goes directly to the SVCM Fuel Fund. Voting is easy:

  • Scan the QR code at each tree to donate online.

  • Or drop cash or checks in the donation box next to the tree.

  • (Online donations encouraged.)
