Applications for the Salvation Army Angel Tree program will open at 9 a.m. Oct. 6.
“This program has been a beacon of hope for countless families during the holiday season, helping to provide Christmas gifts for hundreds of children in our community each year,” according to a news release from the Salvation Army of Augusta.
The Angel Tree program provides gifts of new clothing and toys during the holiday season for children 12 years old and younger.
Applications will be accepted at saangeltree.org. The Salvation Army collects information to determine qualifications for participation in the program and details on each child. No private information is shared with the public. Donors will only receive the first name and Christmas wish list for each child, respecting the privacy and dignity of the recipients, the release said.
You can help bring joy to a child’s holiday season by “adopting” an angel through The Salvation Army of Augusta’s Angel Tree program. Starting in mid-November, visit one of our Angel Trees at The Kroc Center, the Augusta Mall, or our Family Stores in North Augusta and Martinez. Each tree will be decorated with angel tags, each representing a child in need. Choose an angel, shop for the items on their wish list, and return the unwrapped gifts to the designated drop-off location. For more information on how to adopt an angel, email us, according to the website.
The Salvation Army of Augusta serves residents in Richmond, Columbia, Wilkes, Burke, McDuffie, and Glascock Counties.
