About the Angel Tree Program

The Salvation Army Angel Tree program has been running for over 45 years to help provide Christmas gifts from generous donors for hundreds of thousands of children, seniors, and adults with special needs around the country each year.

In North Texas, which hosts one of the largest Angel Tree programs in the world, The Salvation Army ensures tens of thousands experience the joy of Christmas morning each year. The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program serves as a symbol of hope, particularly at a time when many are continuing to struggle with the impacts of inflation and rising costs. Across the region, thousands are faced with tough choices on how to stretch their already tight household budgets, leaving many torn between purchasing presents for the holidays or putting food on the table.

The Salvation Angel Tree program helps alleviate that added financial and emotional stress.
