Angel Tree Impact
Because of you, a child in our community will have gifts on Christmas morning. The Salvation Army's Angel Tree Toy Town is one of our highest-profile Christmas efforts. It was started in 1979 by Majors Charles and Shirley White, when they worked with a shopping mall in Virginia to provide clothing and toys for children at Christmastime.
You can get involved by hosting an Angel Tree, a toy drive, buying gifts online, making a monetary gift, and volunteering!
Host a Toy Drive
To ensure we help more children ages 0-12 this Christmas, we invite you to host an Angel Tree or a Toy Drive with us. All of our toy collection programs are open to businesses, organizations, churches, groups, families and individuals.
- Christmas in July (July 1-31): Collect new toys, books, games, or gift cards.
- Angel Tree Host (Oct.-Dec.): Receive generic gift wish tags children and collect the designated gifts for our distribution.
- Toy Drive (anytime): Collect new toys, books, games, stuffed animals and gift cards for distribution.
To host a Christmas in July Toy Drive, please complete the interest form below, or contact Angel Tree Coordinator Lauren Shelton at lauren.shelton@usc.salvationarmy.org.
Walmart Online Wish List
You can also purchase gifts for Angels through our Walmart wishlist. Simply review the items available to purchase, select a gift, and our Angel Tree team will receive it and distribute it at Christmastime!
