Peabody Girl Scouts, ROTC Collecting Trees For Tillie's Farm Bonfire

PEABODY, MA — A Peabody Girl Scout troop and high school ROTC are raising money by collecting discarded Christmas trees for the Farm at the Farm 2025 at Tillie's.

The Fire at the Farm bonfire will be from 4 to 7 p.m. at Tillie's on Jan. 4 with a rain date of Jan. 5.

Girls Scout Troop 76125 and Peabody Veterans Memorial High School AFJROTC Foundation, Inc. will be collecting trees over the next week ahead of the event for a $10 donation.

The Girl Scouts are raising funds for their upcoming Europe trip where they will learn about some of the countries, cultures and people they visit. One hundred percent of the fee goes to Troop 76125.

Those with questions can call 508-241-6133 or email cookies76125@gmail.com.

Trees must be completely undecorated, un-bagged, and have no stands at the time of pickup.

The PVMHS AFJROTC will be collecting trees on Jan. 2 and Jan. 3. Trees should be placed curbside prior to 8 a.m. on Jan. 2.

That fee is also a $10 donation with those interested able to register and pay here.

A $10 cash donation can also be delivered to the Peabody Recreation Office at 50 Farm Ave.

One hundred percent of donations go to the Peabody Veterans Memorial High School's Air Force Junior Reserve Officers Training Corp.
