Angel Tree was a former project for the League in partnership with the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army continues to organize this effort.   Families in need can apply to the Salvation Army for their children to be included.  Each child is represented by an angel at trees in various locations in the area.   Community volunteers staff the tree at McCain Mall in North Little Rock and help with the application process and distribution of gifts when Angel Tree is completed.

Angels are chosen by members of the community as individuals or groups, such as businesses, church groups, civic organizations, etc.    The child's wants and needs for Christmas are listed on his/her angel and the person or group that adopts the angel provides the Christmas gifts for that child.  Gifts are brought back to the location where the angel was chosen.

Applications for families to participate in Angel Tree are taken in Oct. and Nov.  Contact the Salvation Army for more information. 

Thank you to all those who have adopted angels in past years and helped make a child's Christmas brighter!  Continue to support the Salvation Army by making every Christmas a wonderful one for children in our community, either by helping provide gifts for children and/or providing volunteer hours.  Call the Salvation Army for more information.
