Have You Heard? Time is Ticking for the Angel Tree Program in Columbia!
Columbia, S.C. – The holiday season is upon us, and while we are busy decking the halls and shopping for our loved ones, there’s a wonderful opportunity right here in our community to make a real difference! If you’ve been considering spreading some holiday cheer, there’s no better way than by becoming an angel for a child in need through the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program. However, you better act fast, because time is running out!
What is the Angel Tree Program?
The Angel Tree Program is a heartwarming initiative that connects generous folks in our community with disadvantaged children who might otherwise go without gifts this Christmas. For those unfamiliar with the program, each year, individuals can adopt a child and provide them with gifts that will surely bring smiles on Christmas morning.
This year, the program is entirely online, which makes it easier than ever to participate—no need to brave the cold or dash around town! You can simply visit the Salvation Army’s website, browse through the virtual angel tree, and pick out a child that you’d like to support. Whether you’re an individual, employee at a local business, or part of a group looking to do some good, every little bit helps!
Don’t Miss the Deadline!
Mark your calendars, folks! The deadline to adopt a child in this year’s Angel Tree Program is Friday, December 6. Yes, that’s right—only a few days left to become an angel! With Christmas fast approaching, you don’t want to miss out on this chance to spread some joy and make a difference in a child’s life.
Why Choose the Angel Tree Program?
You may wonder, “Why should I get involved?” Well, the answer is simple! Many families in the Midlands are struggling, and this program provides an opportunity to give back within your own community. Imagine the joy and excitement on a child’s face when they unwrap a gift they’ve been wishing for. It’s those heartfelt moments that can truly make the holiday season special. Plus, it’s a great way to teach kids about the importance of giving, love, and generosity!
Give a Little, Help a Lot!
In addition to bringing joy to children, another fantastic perk of participating in the Angel Tree Program is knowing that you are helping local families. When you adopt a child, your contributions are going directly to those who need it most.
