Salvation Army Kicks Off Annual Angel Tree Program

The Salvation Army of Lufkin is kicking off its annual Angel Tree program on November 4. The program provides toys and clothing to children whose families are facing financial difficulties.

Thanks to the generosity of the East Texas community, numerous children will experience the joy of opening presents on Christmas morning.

“The Salvation Army Angel Tree program provides toys and clothing to children and families who might be struggling to afford Christmas gifts this year,” said Captain Jenifer Phillips of The Salvation Army of Lufkin. “Angels are available for adoption by community members and businesses, who play a significant role in bringing joy to children's hearts this Christmas.”

The Salvation Army Angel Trees can be found at local malls and other businesses during the holiday season. Individuals and businesses in the community can adopt "angels," represented by paper angels on trees. Each angel symbolizes a child or senior citizen who might not receive a gift at Christmas without this program.

Angels will be available for adoption from November 4 to the final week before Christmas. Even If you cannot shop in person this year, you can still participate in the Angel Tree program through Walmart’s "Registry for Good" program. Click the link and search for The Salvation Army of Lufkin or Nacogdoches to order items that benefit local families. Walmart will deliver these gifts directly to The Salvation Army.

“We are so appreciative for the generosity of our community, local businesses, and volunteers who work alongside The Salvation Army,” added Captain Phillips. “Together, we are making the season brighter for people in need in our community.”
