Angel Tree
In a typical year, The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program puts new toys under the tree for thousands of Charlotte-area 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.
If you're interested in providing gifts for this program, please visit our Angel Tree page for adoption information.
Corvette Angels Toy Drive

The 2026 Corvette Angels Toy Drive is collecting toys to support The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, bringing Christmas joy to children in need throughout our community.
