Columbia’s Angel Tree Project Goes Digital to Brighten Holidays for Children in Need

COLUMBIA, SC – Celebrate the Season with the Angel Tree Project!

As we dive into the holiday season, the spirit of giving is shining brighter than ever in Columbia. Each year, the community comes together to partake in the beloved Angel Tree project, a wonderful initiative designed to bring joy to children in need. This year, the project is going digital, making it easier than ever for you to help brighten the holidays for a Midlands child.

What is the Angel Tree Project?

The Angel Tree project is a heartwarming program facilitated by the renowned Salvation Army. It allows individuals and businesses to adopt angels—children who may not otherwise receive gifts during the holiday season. By providing necessary items and festive presents, you can help ensure that each child feels the warmth and joy that gives this season its special touch.

A New Digital Twist!

This year, the Salvation Army has made a big change to the way they operate the Angel Tree program. Instead of traditional paper tags hanging on trees around the community, the program is now fully online! This innovative approach simplifies the process for everyone involved, allowing you to adopt a child, view their specific needs, and select gifts from the comfort of your home.

In just a few clicks, you can bring a smile to a child’s face and spread joy across our community. Whether it’s toys, books, or a warm jacket, every contribution helps make a child’s Christmas feel a little more magical.

How to Get Involved

Getting involved is a breeze! To be an angel this holiday season, simply head over to the Salvation Army’s website. They’ve made it super easy to navigate, and you can choose a child to “adopt” in a matter of minutes. You’ll find all the information you need about what items the child would love, so you can pick the perfect present.

Special Thanks to Local Sponsors

A big shout-out goes to local businesses that support this project. A special thank you is extended to JT’s Automotive Group, who have partnered up with the Salvation Army to ensure the Angel Tree program can thrive. Local sponsorship is key in making sure these initiatives are successful, and it’s heartening to see businesses stepping up to support our community.

Why It Matters

Every child deserves to feel the joy of receiving gifts during the holidays. The Angel Tree project not only helps provide these gifts but also spreads awareness about the importance of community support. Each contribution matters, no matter how big or small. It’s about showing our children that they are loved and remembered during this magical time of year.

The holiday season is truly a time of giving, and the Angel Tree project embodies that spirit. This year, as we string lights and hang ornaments, let’s keep in mind the children in our community who could use a little extra love. Be an angel today and help create a brighter holiday for those who need it most!

Remember, this is a chance to make a real difference in a child’s life. Join in on the fun of giving and be part of something special in Columbia this holiday season!
