*Angel Trees
In your office, church, club or place of business-anywhere you put up a Christmas tree for friends and co-workers during the Holiday Season - you can decorate with The Salvation Army Angels.

Each Angel has the name and age of a child in need. It also has the child's sizes and gift suggestions.

Employees or club/church members choose Angels, purchase indicated gifts and return them wrapped and labeled. A representative then calls The Salvation Army to collect the gifts for distribution. Participants retain the Angels as a reminder of the children who benefit.

**Adopt-A-Family
Help an entire family all at once. You will receive the sizes of everyone in the family and any special needs information.

You can give:
-- food the family enjoys (including grocery store gift certificates.)
-- clothing and gift certificates
-- new toys matched to the ages of the children
-- cash for The Salvation Army to select items for you
