The Christmas Tree Auction Returns!

CSET and TC Hope are proud to bring back one of Visalia’s most cherished holidays, the Christmas Tree Auction. This joyful event not only lights up the season but also raises critical funds for CSET and other vital supportive services that serve our neighbors in need.

Planting Hope, Empowering Lives

Each year, CSET supports over 30,000 Tulare County residents, with 82% living below the poverty line. Through workforce development, energy assistance, senior services, youth training, and housing support, we work to break the cycle of poverty, one family at a time.

Trees of Hope is more than a festive event - it’s a powerful reminder of the work we do all year to strengthen our community. 

In 2023 alone:

  • 343 people found living-wage jobs

  • 114 young adults gained hands-on job training

  • 4,569 households received utility relief

  • 155,798 meals were delivered to local seniors

  • 4,364 tax returns were filed at no cost

You Make It Possible
