CSET and TC HOPE Celebrate Giving Tree Honoring Trees of Hope Sponsors

Visalia, CA - Community Services Employment Training (CSET) and TC HOPE proudly hosted a Giving Tree Unveiling Reception on February 24, 2026, at the Visalia Navigation Center. The event brought together community leaders, partners, and generous sponsors in celebration of the Trees of Hope Christmas Tree Auction.

The reception recognized the sponsors whose generosity made the 2025 Trees of Hope fundraiser possible and helped raise critical funds for CSET services. Attendees gathered for a special unveiling of the Giving Tree installation, which permanently honors sponsors for their commitment to strengthening housing stability, supportive services, and community resources throughout Tulare County.

“We are deeply grateful for the generosity and compassion of our 2025 Trees of Hope Christmas Tree Auction sponsors,” said Mary Alice Escarsega-Fechner, CSET’s Executive Director. “Their support is more than a donation — it’s a powerful investment in people, dignity, and opportunity. The Giving Tree stands as a lasting symbol of what we can accomplish when our community comes together with heart and purpose.”

The Giving Tree stands prominently at the Visalia Navigation Center as a permanent tribute to the sponsors who made the campaign a success and as a reminder of the community partnerships that continue to transform lives.

The 2026 Trees of Hope Christmas Tree Auction is scheduled for Friday, December 4, 2026. For more information or sponsorship opportunities, please contact Mary Alice Escarsega-Fechner at (559) 732-4194.
