Angel Tree
The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program puts new clothes and toys under the tree for children who usually must go without Christmas gifts. Anonymous donors adopt these little “angels” in an expanding Christmas tradition that makes the season more rewarding for the gift-giver and happier for the child. This year, please consider taking a few angels off the tree or donating gifts in bulk.
The Angel Tree program provided more than 73,000 gifts for metro Detroit children last Christmas. If you are at risk of not being able to provide presents for your family this holiday season, please reach out to your local Salvation Army. If you're interested in providing gifts for this program, please visit our Angel Tree registry page.
Once a child is accepted as an Angel, donors like you can shop and help bring their Christmas wishes to life. Simply pick a tag off the Angel Tree located inside your local Walmart store or follow the instructions below to shop online using Walmart’s Spark Good Registry. Once the gifts are received, The Salvation Army will distribute them to families in need - allowing parents and caregivers to place the presents under the tree on Christmas morning, preserving dignity, while creating joy.
