The tree giveaway is being organized by the Lake Worth Interfaith Network as part of its community service activities. Reverend Taylor Stevens, director of the network explains, “Fifty-three trees will be given away by lottery to Lake Worth residents. The number represents the age of Josette Kaufman, chairperson of the Lake Worth Tree Board and Executive Director of the environmental Marshall Foundation, who died unexpectedly last month. Josette and I were actively working on this project at the time of her passing. Every tree that is planted will be a testament to Josette’s loving service to the city and to the environment.”
Peace Jam is sponsored by Kiwanis Club of Lake Worth, the Downtown Cultural Alliance and the City of Lake Worth.
