McMinnville, OR – Yamhill County families looking for a fresh-cut Christmas tree this weekend will once again have a local option that supports a community cause. The Yamhill County Search and Rescue (YCSAR) Volunteer Unit is holding its annual Christmas tree sale on Saturday, December 6, and Sunday, December 7, offering Douglas and Noble firs at accessible prices to help fund their operations.
According to the Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office, the fundraiser will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days—rain or shine—at the Harbor Freight parking lot, located at 1201 NE Highway 99W in McMinnville. Volunteers, including some who participated in recent community safety events, will be on-site assisting shoppers with selecting and preparing their trees.
The sale features Douglas fir trees for $30 and Noble fir trees for $50, with all proceeds supporting Yamhill County Search and Rescue training, equipment, and emergency response readiness. The Sheriff’s Office added that while Santa and Mrs. Claus have officially “headed back north,” the volunteer crew will still bring plenty of holiday spirit as they work the lot throughout the weekend.
Residents are also encouraged to share photos of their decorated trees once they’ve brought them home. According to organizers, community participation and visibility help boost awareness of the volunteer-driven program and its year-round mission to assist with missing person searches, emergency calls, and disaster response across Yamhill County and the surrounding region.
The Sheriff’s Office reminds shoppers to arrive early for the best selection and to dress for winter weather, as the sale operates outdoors.
