Angel Tree Chicagoland
The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program in Greater Chicagoland and Northern Illinois
Tuesday, October 6th - Friday, December 5th
The holidays should be a magical time, especially for children who often dream of the wonderful things they’ll find under their tree. Sadly, many children throughout the greater Chicagoland area won’t even have a Christmas tree, much less presents to open.
To ensure that all children, teens, and seniors have a gift to open for Christmas, The Salvation Army identifies families in need through our corps community centers and social service programs. Donors purchase requested gifts for these individuals and the Army provides each family a box full of special foods for the holiday season, ensuring that everyone has a Merry Christmas.
