Central Indiana Area Command Christmas Assistance Information
Christmas Assistance Program
Christmas is a joyful day in the lives of millions of people but for many families, it can be a time of stress and sadness. That is why we provide Christmas Assistance to children throughout the Central Indiana area. Every year, The Salvation Army tries to provide families with some relief through gifts and toys for their children through Angel Tree/Toy Shop.
Sponsoring Angels
Angel Sponsorship are open! Visit here to get started. If you are wanting to sponsor more than 50 Angels, please contact Kim Napier at kim.napier@usc.salvationarmy.org.
Help us provide Christmas to thousands of families this year. As a sponsor, you will shop for your angels after completing this simple form. You will receive a wish list that was creating by the parent/caregiver after completion. We ask you spend $125 per Angel. After you've completed your shopping, you'll drop off your gifts at a Salvation Army location.
Corporate Involvement
Businesses and corporations are encouraged to join us distributing gifts to thousands of children. As a business you can sponsor Angels or collected toys for our Toy Shop. Many parents/guardians will be "shopping" in our Toy Shop for gifts for their children. You can also make a financial donation to the Angel Tree Toy Shop so we can make sure our shelves stay stocked with toys for children. Together we can help thousands of families make lasting memories!
