The Salvation Army Angel Giving Tree is a program that allows people to provide children and seniors in need with holiday gifts. This year, there is also an online Angel Giving Tree program presented by JCPenney. This program allows people across the country to adopt Angels from a local community through a website at jcp.com/angel. After an Angel is chosen, an email is sent containing all of the necessary details to help the Angel. This will include the list of needs and wants and information regarding where to ship or deliver the gifts to local Salvation Army destinations. For more information, visit the website.
