Adopt an angel from the Salvation Army of Augusta’s Angel Tree program and help a child in need this Christmas
This year, the program will serve about 500 families and more than 1,200 children who might otherwise go without on Christmas morning, according to a news release.
“When you adopt an Angel, you’re doing so much more than giving a gift,” said Maj. Jonathan Raymer, Area Commander for The Salvation Army of Augusta. “You’re helping a child feel valued at a time when their family may be struggling. That act of kindness makes a tremendous difference—and we see the impact every single year.”
People can provide Christmas gifts, clothing, and essential items to children in need across the Augusta area.
Angel Tree tags, each representing a local child and their wish list, are now available at several locations across the area. Current locations include The Salvation Army Kroc Center of Augusta, 1833 Broad Street’ New Moon Café, 936 Broad Street; the Augusta, Evans and Grovetown Panera Bread restaurants; and Augusta Mall.
Also, on Nov. 24, tags may be found at Walmart Supercenter, 4469 Washington Road, Evans; and the Walmart Supercenter, 1201 Knox Ave, North Augusta.
Gifts should be delivered to the Augusta Kroc Center by Dec. 9.
For those who prefer to give online, The Salvation Army of Augusta started a Walmart online registry, https://www.walmart.com/registry/RR/e550f2c6-3fa0-4bab-86c7-216302b0c88f
Volunteers are also needed to help prepare for Angel Tree distribution and to assist families on the distribution day itself. Register online at: salvationarmyaugusta.org
