The Angel Tree Program
Each Christmas, The Salvation Army helps bring smiles to more than one million children across the United States by providing new clothes and toys—gifts they might not receive otherwise. Through the Angel Tree program, generous donors “adopt” children in need, creating a brighter season for both the giver and the receiver.
If you are at risk of not being able to provide presents for your children this holiday season, registration typically takes place in September, October, and November. To learn more about eligibility and important dates in your area, please reach out to your local Salvation Army.
If you're interested in giving, you can sponsor a child or shop directly through our Angel Tree registry, or learn more about the program at the link below.

Give Your Time
Volunteers play a vital role in making the holidays special. Across the country, The Salvation Army relies on dedicated volunteers to help distribute gifts and serve holiday meals to families in need. Many volunteers come from churches, community groups, sponsoring organizations, and senior programs—but there is always a need for more helping hands.
Other Programs and Services
We know the holidays cause financial stress for millions of families each year. Individuals and families seeking assistance are encouraged to contact their local Salvation Army to learn about available programs and seasonal support.
Adopt an Angel
In a typical year, The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program puts new clothes and toys under the tree for 1 million children who usually must go without Christmas gifts. Anonymous donors adopt these little “angels” in an expanding Christmas tradition that makes the season more rewarding for the gift giver and happier for the receiver. This year, please consider taking a few more angels off the tree or donating gifts in bulk.

Show love all year long
While Christmas may be the season to shower those we love with gifts, it's also about giving to our neighbors in need. This holiday season, give a gift to help us continue providing vital services to those most in need.
