CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — The Port of Corpus Christi tree giveaway took place Tuesday night, with many families getting the opportunity to receive a Christmas tree and some ornaments completely free.
NuStar partnered with the Port of Corpus Christi to sponsor the event in which 200 trees were given away.
