The Salvation Army/NBC 5 Angel Tree
Most of us look forward to receiving gifts over the holidays. Children, especially, dream about the wonderful things they hope to find under the tree on Christmas morning. Unfortunately, many children in the Metroplex won't even have a Christmas tree, much less any presents to open.
That's where The Salvation Army comes in. Through a program called "Angel Tree," gifts are provided to needy children and elderly citizens who would otherwise be left out on Christmas.
The Salvation Army/NBC 5 Angel Tree program provides an opportunity for the personal touch, as shoppers can select an Angel Tag at an area mall or their place of work. Each Angel Tag provides the name, age, gender, clothing sizes and special Christmas needs and wishes of a needy child, senior or disabled adult.
Caring individuals select one or more of the angels from the tree, purchase gifts from the list and return the unwrapped gifts to the Angel Tree. Donors may purchase the need, the wish, or both.
