People walking by the corner of 45th and Vliet streets will notice a tree decorated for the season. But this tree isn’t just one for the winter months; over the past year, it’s been decorated for dozens of different holidays to promote kindness within a Milwaukee community. It all started the day after Christmas, a year ago, when Jerry Burns found a healthy Christmas tree thrown out on his curb. “I just happened to have an extra tree stand and I thought, well, I’m gonna plop that down right here on the corner.

He then left a note inviting people to take an ornament and leave an ornament.
