ANGEL TREE
"Angels helping Angels"
Adopt a Child for Christmas

WOW! What an event last year! Over 2,000 ANGELS were delivered to the Salvation Army as a result of last year's "Angels Helping Angels." A BIG THANKS to all of our "Angles" and our Volunteers for making this year's event the BIGGEST ONE to date!!!

Make this season brighter for a child by adopting a child for Christmas. Individuals, churches, groups, businesses, and organizations, can be an “Angels” by choosing an angel(s), purchasing the listed gifts, and returning the UN-WRAPPED gifts with their angel tag attached to the Christmas Warehouse. Each Angel has the name and age of a child in need and gift suggestion. Take your child or grandchild along to teach them the gift of giving.
For more information on this year's program, CONTACT PATTY AT 951-784-4490 EXT. 114
