Christmas
The Salvation Army of Winston Salem Christmas Information
The Angel Tree Program
Imagine the heartbreak on a child's face when they wake up on Christmas morning with no presents to open. Thousands of kids in the Winston-Salem area will not receive any Christmas presents this year because their parents have to make the impossible choice of paying bills instead of buying Christmas presents.
Because of people like you, The Salvation Army Angel Tree program was able to provide Christmas gifts for more than 1,500 kids in the Winston-Salem area last year. We hope to reach over 2,000 kids this year.
If you feel called to help a child experience the magic of Christmas this year and you would like to "adopt an angel" by providing their Christmas gifts, please visit our Angel Tree registry page.

Red Kettle
The Red Kettle campaign is the most important event of year for us. The donations we receive at Christmas are critically important for funding the programs that help people in crisis throughout the year. If you feel called to serve our community with us and you want to be a part of our mission to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in His name without discrimination, please sign up to ring the Red Kettle bells this year.
Ring with friends, family, co-workers, or your church!

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.
