The Story Behind the Little Trees Project
The Little Trees Project began as a heartfelt idea from our founder and director, Linda Gillick, who felt a deep calling from God to share His love in tangible ways. Launched during the holiday season over 20 years ago, Linda envisioned bringing joy, comfort, and connection to home care residents through thoughtful decorations and heartfelt words of encouragement. What started as a seasonal outreach has since grown into a year-round mission, rooted in Linda’s obedience to God’s prompting and her unwavering desire to make His love known.
Linda’s daughter-in-law, Christina, recently joined the team as a co-partner to support the Little Trees Project with marketing and administrative efforts. Her behind-the-scenes contributions aim to help the mission grow and share God’s love with even more people.
At its core, the Little Trees Project is about reflecting God’s light and reminding people—especially those who may feel unseen—that they are valued and deeply loved by Him. Through cheerful decorations and gifts, handwritten notes and cards, and meaningful visits, we aim to brighten lives in every season, creating moments of connection that reflect the hope and joy found in Christ.
Linda’s vision, grounded in faith and guided by God’s call, has been the foundation of the Little Trees Project’s mission. Whether during the holiday season or any other time, we strive to follow His lead, spreading light, joy, and hope to those who need it most.
