This is what
Christmas
can do.
Unwrapping joy. Sharing hope.
A little joy goes a long way
Sometimes, something as simple as a new toy, warm clothes, or a special gift from your wishlist can mean so much more. For a child in Lafayette, it can bring excitement on Christmas morning. For a parent or guardian, it can bring relief during an already stressful season.
Because a little joy
can travel far.
Counting our blessings
Every number tells a story. Together, they show what happens when Lafayette comes together to share a little extra hope throughout our community during the holiday season.
Adopted
Bring an angel home for Christmas
Here’s how it works
Find an Angel
Choose an in-person Angel Tree or contact us if physical trees aren’t available. Here, you'll discover what your Angel wants and what they need. Angels are available to adopt from October 30 through December 1 at Best Buy, Lafayette Pediatric Dentistry, the Salvation Army Thrift Store, and The Cookie Door.
Shop with Heart
Pick up a few things for your Angel. Whether it’s a favorite toy, something in his or her favorite color, a cozy outfit, a new pair of shoes, or a winter coat, every gift makes his or her Christmas Day a joyful one.
Drop Off Your Gifts
Return your Angel’s gifts unwrapped, bagged, and labeled with his or her name and family code by December 7.
Let the Joy Begin
The Salvation Army will distribute gifts to the parents/guardians of the Angels in time to set up for the big day, helping bring a little more Christmas joy to a child and family in Lafayette.
