Salvation Army Angel Tree Program accepting applications through October 31

Online applications are now being accepted for The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program.

The applications are for families and caregivers who need help with gifts for their children ages 0 to 12 this Christmas.

Salvation Army Toccoa Service Center Director Rebecca Dixon says applications will be accepted through October 31.

The Toccoa Salvation Army serves Stephens, Franklin, and Hart counties. Residents of these counties who are unable to provide clothing and toys for their children for the 2021 Christmas Season, are welcomed to apply online at saangeltree.org.

When you go to the web site, you will be asked to enter your ZIP code and it will automatically direct you to the Salvation Army office that serves your county.

Again, Parents, Grandparents or Guardians with custody of children ages 0-12 are eligible.

Toys for Tots will also be providing gifts for children this year, but Dixon said you may only apply with one group.

Additionally, Dixon said if you are unable to complete the application On-line, you may come in person to the Toccoa Service Center of The Salvation Army at 306 East Franklin Street in Toccoa.

Dixon said they hope to help over 200 families, which she said would include up to 600 children, this year. And the actual angel tree ornaments with a child’s name and gift list will be available beginning in November.

Again, to sign up online, simply go to saangeltree.org.
