Salvation Army Extends Deadline to Register for Angel Tree Program

There’s still time ensure your child receives gifts for Christmas.

That’s according to Social Worker Brenda Gragg with the Salvation Army of Toccoa.

She says that registration for the Angel Tree Program has been extended.

There will be a sign-up day at the Toccoa location on Tuesday, November 6, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Angel Tree Program is designed to provide Christmas presents to the children in the community that normally would not receive gifts during the holiday because of a financial hardship.

Gragg says that the program is an opportunity for the community to come together and ensure that every child in Stephens County receives a gift on Christmas Day.

“There are families that can’t afford to buy presents for their children. The Angel Tree Program allows the community to come together and make sure that there are Christmas presents for all the kids,” Gragg said.

Gragg adds that anyone wishing to register a child can do so tomorrow, November 6, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at the Salvation Army Toccoa, located at 306 E. Franklin Street.

Children 15-years-old and under can be registered to receive gifts through the Angel Tree Program.

The following documents are required to register: Valid Photo ID; proof of address with name of parent/guardian; proof of financial need, such as current food stamp award letter (EBT cards will not be accepted).

Additional documents required are: social security card or W-7 for all in the household and birth certificates for each child registered, official custody or guardianship papers, and clothing and shoes sizes for all children.

Gragg says that from years past, the community has been supportive of the Angel Tree program.
