Christmas Assistance Program
Christmas is a joyful day in the lives of millions of people but for many families, it can be a time of stress and sadness. That is why we provide Christmas Assistance to children throughout the Central Indiana area. Every year, The Salvation Army tries to provide families with some relief through gifts and toys for their children through Angel Tree/Toy Shop.
Sponsoring Angels
Help us provide Christmas to thousands of families this year. As a sponsor, you will shop for your angels after completing this simple form. You will receive a wish list that was creating by the parent/caregiver after completion. We ask you spend $100 per Angel. After you've completed your shopping, drop-off your gifts to one of the following Salvation Army locations by December 6th:

Much of the support for Angel Tree comes from local businesses and organizations that are looking for ways to give back to people in their community.

As you can imagine, it takes hundreds of volunteer hours to make Angel Tree happen. From sorting bags to helping families on distribution day, volunteers are essential to a successful Angel Tree program.
