Adopt a Family

Companies and organizations can adopt a family and collect toys, clothing, household items, and gift-cards for the whole family. Family can be sized to your requested monetary commitment level. The families selected for this program are those in most dire straits for this once in a lifetime opportunity. The following year the children are re-eligible for Christmas Toys.

How does it work?

Children who receive Angel Tree gifts are from families who have applied for Christmas assistance. 

• The Salvation Army screens each family (participation is need-based) and prepares a list of toys and clothing the children want.
• Individuals, companies and groups sign-up to participate in the program by adopting Angels or hosting trees.
• The Salvation Army staff assigns ‘Angels’ to each sponsor and will mail you ‘Angel Tags.’ Each tag has information about the Angel (child’s first name, gender, age, and gift wish) and is ready to be hung on your Christmas tree.
• The fun begins! Sponsors shop for the Angels.
• Please make sure all gifts are gifts are new and unwrapped so we can give the parents the opportunity to do this for their child.
• Collect all the gifts from your employees/customers and coordinate a date with us to deliver the toys.
