The holiday season is just around the corner, and here in San Antonio, there’s an exciting initiative taking place to ensure that every child has a gift to unwrap on Christmas morning. That’s right! The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program is gearing up for another year of making dreams come true for families in need.
The Angel Tree Program is an annual program that has been running since 1979. It started with a mission to bring smiles to the faces of underprivileged children, and now, over four decades later, it continues to make a significant difference in our community. Initially providing gifts to just 700 children, this heartwarming initiative now aims to reach over 6,000 children this holiday season!
From September 23 to October 4, registration for the program is open every day from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Parents and guardians are encouraged to take part in this fantastic opportunity that offers not just toys but also clothing for children, seniors, and families in need. The program collaborates with local malls and retailers to gather donations, ensuring that every child in the community can celebrate Christmas with joy.
To register your child (or children) for the program, you’ll need to present several important documents. These include:
These requirements help the program ensure that the support goes to those who need it the most. It’s a straightforward process aimed at making sure no child goes without a gift this Christmas!
The holiday season can be a tricky time for many families, especially those facing financial struggles. Children can often feel the weight of the holidays when they see friends and family exchanging presents. The Angel Tree Program takes away some of this pressure, allowing children to experience the joy of Christmas. Imagine the happiness of seeing a shiny wrapped gift under the tree, knowing it was given with love and care.
In addition to registering children who might benefit from this program, there are also ample opportunities for community members to get involved. If you’re looking for ways to spread cheer this season, consider donating or volunteering! The program welcomes all kinds of support, whether it’s toys, clothing, or your time to help organize events. Every little bit helps and makes a big impact.
For those interested in registering a child or wanting to contribute to this heartwarming initiative, you can easily find more information on the Salvation Army’s official website. It’s wonderful to see San Antonio coming together to support each other during the holiday season, reminding us all of the true spirit of giving.
As September begins winding down, it’s a perfect time to mark your calendars for the Angel Tree Program registration. Together, we can make sure that every child in San Antonio wakes up to gifts, joy, and the true meaning of Christmas. Let’s get involved and make this holiday season unforgettable for our little ones!
