The Salvation Army Angel Giving Tree online program (presented by JC Penney) is an online program that allows people from across the country to provide children and seniors in need with holiday gifts. These people would not receive holiday gifts if it weren't for the generous support of people around the country sponsoring one by one. The purpose of the program is to increase the number of people helped this holiday season by providing a convenient online program through which Angels can be adopted as the program itself has gone on for years...
I went to the site, entered my ZIP code, and found there were many angels in my area in need. I selected a 3 year old little girl who's only listed items are a shirt, pants and Dora :) (however, many kids have LOTS of items, and you are by no means required to buy them all the items or even follow the lists). I figured, even though we're by no means a wealthy couple, we can reach out and make a difference in that one little girl's life. For a very small amount of money on my end, she can have holiday gifts this year because of our efforts. When you select - they e-mail you the shipping address/drop-off address of the Salvation Army in your selected angel's area. That's the great thing - if there's no one in your direct area - you can pick an angel anywhere in the country! And, if you buy your angel's gifts on jcpenney.com - they'll ship them to your angel's Salvation Army branch for FREE. However - if you want to shop elsewhere - you can mail them yourself. I will most likely do that.
If you're interested in a fairly inexpensive way to really help someone in need this holiday season - look no further...
