2023 Christmas Applications (online or by phone ONLY)


We know parents and families have to make very hard decisions. Choosing between paying utilities, rent or food for the family comes first. How to buy Christmas presents can be a heartbreaking challenge. We have experienced significant increases from families seeking basic needs and now we receive requests to help make Christmas brighter this year. Thanks to amazing community businesses, churches, and individual donors, we can make some wishes come true. Angel Tree and Star of Hope programs allow The Salvation Army to say "yes" for those who may otherwise go without Christmas gifts.

Anonymous donors adopt the “angels” as a Christmas tradition that makes the season more rewarding for the gift giver and happier for the receiver. If you are in need or know of individuals and families struggling to make ends meet, please know community and The Salvation Army is here for you. Take part in completing an application through the link below.

Our Christmas Distribution will be December 14-15. The Distribution location details will be coming soon.





ANGEL TREE

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN APPLYING FOR CHRISTMAS APPLICATIONS

Be prepared to enter income for the entire household.
At the Distribution Center, you must bring original ID's for everyone in your household to receive your gifts.
Christmas Distribution is December 14-15. You will receive a mailer at your home address in early December instructing you of the date, time and location to pick up your toys and food voucher.
