BILLINGS, Mont. – Residents of Billings braved the snow and freezing temperatures to visit the Adult and Teen Challenge tree lot at Faith Chapel.

The lot is not just a place to buy Christmas trees, but a source of hope for many. The Trees for Hope fundraiser supports men and women across Montana working through addiction recovery. The initiative also offers students a way to give back to the community.

Ryne Strouth, program coordinator at the Adult and Teen Challenge men's campus in Billings, emphasized the impact of the program.
