Our Mission
The CHICAGO’S CHRISTMAS SHIP is a not for profit, all volunteer organization, derived from the marine community of greater Chicago. It is dedicated to the acquisition and donation of Christmas trees, which are donated to the disadvantaged. It is dedicated to the betterment of the Christmas Season for families and children who would not otherwise have had an opportunity to afford, experience and enjoy the Holiday Season with a Christmas tree.”
