Angel Trees are placed in area stores in early November. Each tree is hung with angel tags containing an recipient’s age, gender, clothing sizes, and gift wishes. You are invited to select a tag and purchase items for that child or senior based on the information on the tag, and return the gifts to the tree.
Gift recipients must meet income guidelines and must not be receiving aid from other Christmas programs.

Hi, my name is Chandana, ever year I donate toys to kids at angel tree, this year I did not find the location at the galleria. So I was wondering where I can donate. Can you please send me location. Where I can donate.
Hi Chandana – The Salvation Army doesn’t seem to have physical trees this year. You can visit this link to “adopt an angel” but the site is showing that all angels have been adopted for now. You might want to contact them or just keep checking back. We’ll try to contact them, too. Thanks!
