Columbia, SC Gets Ready to Spread Christmas Cheer with the Angel Tree Program!
The holiday season is officially here, bringing with it a spirit of giving, warmth, and joy! This year, the heartfelt tradition of the Angel Tree program has made its return, and it’s all set to bring smiles to children in need across our beloved Midlands. So, grab a cup of hot cocoa, gather around, and let’s dive into all the details on how you can spread some holiday cheer!
What is the Angel Tree Program?
For those who may be unfamiliar, the Angel Tree program provides a wonderful opportunity for generous folks to step up and make a difference in our community. Each year, this initiative connects donors with children who may otherwise go without presents on Christmas morning. It’s a way to remind everyone that the true spirit of the season lies in giving and caring for one another.
The Exciting Shift to Online!
This year comes with an exciting twist! Unlike in previous years where shopping for gifts involved picking a tag from a beautifully decorated tree, the entire process is now online.
That’s right! You can now browse, select, and purchase gifts with just a few clicks from the comfort of your own home. This change not only brings convenience but also encourages more community members to join in and lend a helping hand. It’s never been easier to be an angel!
How to Participate
So, how do you get started? It’s simple! Interested participants can visit the Salvation Army’s online portal and choose from a variety of angel profiles. Each profile includes details about a child’s age, gender, and gift preferences. You can really put thought into your decisions and make sure that your gift is something extra special for that little one.
This year, remember to think about what would truly bring joy to a child’s holiday season. Whether it’s a toy, a book, or clothing, every donation counts and is greatly appreciated!
Shout Out to Local Sponsors!
Let’s not forget to express our gratitude to our local sponsor, JT’s Automotive Group, who has been a fantastic partner in this initiative. Community support is what makes programs like this possible, and it’s heartwarming to see local businesses step up to contribute to such a worthy cause.
Deadlines and Important Information
When participating, it’s essential to be mindful of the deadlines. Donating your gifts online is a breeze, but make sure you check the specific dates on the Salvation Army website so that your gifts can be included in the holiday distribution. Together, let’s make sure every child has the chance to experience the magic of Christmas!

So, Columbia! Are you ready to become an angel this holiday season? All it takes is a little time, thoughtfulness, and heart. By participating in the Angel Tree program, you’re not only providing gifts; you’re creating memories and joy that will last a lifetime.
