All of us have been touched by cancer in some way or another. That includes all of us at Wreaths For Hope. Our goal is to help support the leading cancer research foundations in their quest to help every patient live to see another holiday. With the new science and collaboration with groups of scientist and research projects that address critical problems in patient care, we are seeing a time of progress and determination to end this fight.
Each ribbon-shaped wreath is handcrafted from freshly grown and harvested balsam fir trees from Mingo's Evergreen Products in Downeast Maine. The freshest, most fragrant balsam wreaths - delivered to your door.
Like all Mingo's Evergreen Products, Wreaths For Hope are handcrafted from freshly grown and harvested balsam fir from tree farms in Downeast Maine.
Harvesting begins when the balsam trees become dormant after several weeks of freezing temperatures. As a result, the rich balsam fragrance and deep green color last throughout the holiday season.
We only harvest premium greens from the outside lower branches of balsam fir trees enhancing their growth for future harvesting — a sustainable practice that safeguards our forests.
Our Commitment:
Hope is a powerful thing.
When Artie Mingo's son was born with a severe blood disorder, hope is what kept Artie and his family going as his son endured transfusions and other needed treatments.
"As I was sitting in yet another hospital waiting room, I picked up a copy of Time magazine to try and focus on something else," he recalls. "As I was sifting through pages, not really reading, I came across an article about Stand Up to Cancer, a grassroots organization that is changing the way the disease is being researched. At that moment, I knew I had to get involved somehow, to help make a difference."
Artie's family's business, Mingo's Evergreen Products, has been making handcrafted, freshly harvested balsam holiday wreaths for over 56 years.
"I asked myself, 'What does our company stand for?'" Artie relates. His answer: "to be a champion for a cause that can bring hope to literally millions."
And the way he sought to do that was by creating an organization that will raise money to help people with cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
However, Artie took it a step further. Rather than the traditional round wreath, his company created a unique wreath in the familiar shape of the ribbon that's become synonymous with the fight against cancer.
And Wreaths For Hope was born.
Our goal is to build Wreaths For Hope into a national movement that makes a difference in the fight against cancer.
Whether you are a corporate organization, business or a group of inspired individuals, assemble your team and help us fund cancer research and improve the lives of those living with cancer.

Wreaths For Hope is an organization that raises money through the sales of balsam ribbon wreaths to support funding for cancer research. Our purpose is to partner with large and small foundations, groups and organizations to help raise money and bring awareness to cancer-related causes and patient programs and services.
Our mission is to uphold our community values with the integrity, compassion and personal ethos in which the organization was founded to help raise money for what the human spirit believes in. At the same time, providing sustainable employment opportunities for our local area and bettering the lives of everyone involved.
Our vision for the future is to build this organization beyond a fundraising effort, making it into a well-known national movement for the fight against cancer.
