THE SALVATION ARMY ANGEL TREE PROGRAM
The Salvation Army Angel Tree program helps provide Christmas toys and other gifts for hundreds of thousands of children around the country each year. Once a child has been registered and accepted as an Angel their Christmas wish list is shared with donors in your community who purchase gifts of new clothing and toys. The gifts are distributed to the family to place under their family Christmas tree.

If a family is in need of toys, they need to apply online at: www.saangeltree.org by December 10, 2021 or until our limit is met. If family does not have internet access, The Salvation Army will take applications in person on Mon-Fri from 9am -2pm at the Grass Valley office (10725 Alta Street). Applicants must have an appointment. Call 530-274-3500.
