“The Salvation Army and Walmart have collaborated to meet human needs for more than 40 years and we are inviting donors across the country to give with joy through the Angel Tree program.

“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 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.”
Well done, Kai.
