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 Lake Charles, 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 Lake Charles 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 November 1 through December 12 at these locations: Wal-Mart Supercenter, 3451 Nelson Road, Lake Charles; Wal-Mart Supercenter, 3415 Gerstner Memorial Blvd, Lake Charles; Wal-Mart Supercenter, 2500 N Martin Luther King Hwy, Lake Charles; Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, 2011 Ryan St, Lake Charles; Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, 260 Sam Houston Jones Pkwy, Lake Charles; and Wal-Mart Supercenter, 525 N Cities Service Hwy, Sulphur.
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 at 3020 Legion Street, Lake Charles, LA 70615 by December 12.
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 Lake Charles.
