Lufkin, Texas (December 11, 2023) – The Salvation Army of Lufkin and Nacogdoches is still accepting Angel Tree gift donations and returned angels. Friday, December 8 was the last day to adopt an “Angel” as part of the annual Angel Tree program and the deadline to return the gifts was December 8, but we will still take the Angel Tree donations.
“Our community of donors, partners and volunteers is what keeps The Salvation Army Angel Tree program alive year after year,” said Captain Jenifer Philips of The Salvation Army of Lufkin. “Your kindness ensures every child has a gift to open on Christmas morning, and parents don’t have to decide between paying bills or buying toys.”
The Salvation Army works with community partners and donors to ensure that every child in the Angel Tree program receives gifts to open on Christmas morning. Community toy drives and purchasing toys help supplement the Toy Shop, where volunteers shop for toys at The Salvation Army Christmas warehouse to fulfill the wishes of unadopted angels.
“We are thankful for the numerous companies and individuals who make the Angel Tree a tradition at Christmastime,” said Captain Philips. “Donors, businesses and volunteers help create a lifetime of memories for children in need through The Salvation Army Angel Tree.”
If you would like to make a child’s Christmas wishes come true but do not have time to shop, please make a gift to The Salvation Army’s Online Angel Tree. The Online Angel Tree provides funds for The Salvation Army to purchase toys and clothing for children in the Angel Tree program. Your gift will help children and families create memories that will last a lifetime. Visit www.walmartangeltree.com and search for The Salvation Army of Lufkin to learn more.
