AARON’S WISH TREE OF HONOR - DECEMBER 2026

A community remembrance event honoring service members and veterans through personalized ornaments, a remembrance ceremony, tree lighting, and fellowship.

Wednesday, December 9, 2026
6:30 - 8:30 PM
Independence Senior & Community Center
5409 Madison Pike, Independence, Ky.

The Tree of Honor is a free community event. In the spirit of giving this holiday season, Aaron’s Wish Foundation will be collecting donated items for Welcome House to support veterans experiencing homelessness. Guests who would like to participate are invited to bring an item from the Welcome House wish list. Donations are completely optional and are not required to attend the event.

Together, we can honor those who have served while also supporting veterans in our own community who are facing difficult circumstances.

Ornament Order Deadline: November 30, 2026 to be included in the Tree of Honor event on December 9th.
