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 Northwest Louisiana, 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 Northwest Louisiana comes together to share a little extra hope throughout our community during the holiday season.

1,648Angels served last year.

Christmas can be a season of celebration, but for some families facing financial hardship, it’s a time of difficult decisions. The Angel Tree Program aims to help ease some of that pressure, giving families the opportunity to focus on the dire needs of the winter season, while also experiencing the magic of the holidays.

Bring an angel home for Christmas

Here’s how it works

Step 1

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 for Christmas and what they need. Angels are available to adopt online at angeltreenwla.org from November 2 through November 25. You can also find Angel Trees at Mall St. Vincent and Pierre Bossier Mall starting November 5, and at Walmart Supercenters across the area and Sam's Club in Shreveport and Bossier City starting November 14.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Drop Off Your Gifts

Return your Angel’s gifts unwrapped, bagged, and labeled with his or her name and family code at The Salvation Army of Northwest Louisiana Admin Building, 200 East Stoner Ave., Shreveport, LA 71101 by December 4.

Step 4

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 Northwest Louisiana.
