WHY YOU SHOULD ADOPT AN ANGEL TODAY
Across North Texas, thousands are faced with tough choices on how to stretch their already tight household budgets in the wake of the continued impacts of inflation and rising costs. During the holidays, the burden of financial and emotional stress is heightened, leaving many torn between purchasing presents for Christmas or putting food on the table.
The Salvation Army believes those families in need deserve to experience the joy of Christmas morning. Since 1979, The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program has provided hope for millions of families across the country that are struggling financially — no matter their circumstances.
North Texas boasts the largest Angel Tree program in the country, with around 40,000 local children, seniors, and adults with special needs receiving gifts to celebrate Christmas day. Once an Angel has been registered, their Christmas wish list is catalogued and available for adoption. Items suggested for purchase include new clothing, toys, or essential hygiene and care products.
As the region’s largest social services provider, The Salvation Army of North Texas provides a range of services year-round to combat poverty, addiction, and homelessness at 21 centers of operation in Dallas and Rockwall, Tarrant, Ellis, Collin, and Denton counties.
