The Angel Tree program, supported by generous donors, provides new clothing and toys to children. Local companies and corporations host Angel Trees adorned with numbered paper angel tags, each bearing the first name, age, and gender of a child. Generous community members select angels from the tree and purchase gifts for the angel they have chosen.
“This effort transcends the Salvation Army itself; it unites our entire community during Christmas,” said Major Angela Repass of The Salvation Army. “Each donated toy brings joy to the children and spreads happiness among their families. We are fortunate to be part of a community that shares its joy with others.”
