Christmas Angel Program
|
During the holiday season, Salvation Army units across the Southwest Division will host Christmas Angel programs. Each location will collect and distribute gifts in a unique way to fit its community. However, the goal of this program remains the same, to provide new toys and clothing for underprivileged children.
Donors can get involved with the Christmas Angel Program by contacting their local corps community center or donating online. When donating online, designate your donation by noting Christmas Angel Program on the "specific use" line. A $20 donation to the program will assist The Salvation Army in purchasing one toy for a child this Christmas.
