Sponsor an Angel Today!

Angels are also available to be adopted from our office at 2300 Green Valley Rd during office hours and from Green Valley Mall (Nov 19-Dec 4) located near Santa.  

 

We need your help to make sure every child in need in Southern Indiana gets help this Christmas!  When you are ready to make your Angel Tree Sponsorship commitment, please contact the email provided below with your name, organization name and how many you plan to adopt.  

  • Do I really need to plan my adoptions now?  
    • Yes.  Meeting clothing needs for 3,000+ kids takes a lot of organization on our part and we need to determine our capacity to serve early.  We need to have sponsors already identified BEFORE families start signing up in October.  If we don’t get enough sponsors we will need to close our registration before we have more kids than we can find sponsors!
  • How much should I spend per child?
    • Our goal is for every child to get at least one outfit and shoes or a coat.  That can cost between $35 and $75 depending on the age of the child.  If you are able to spend more, consider adopting older teens who often need bigger and more expensive clothing.  If you are able to spend even more than that, consider adopting more angels.  We would prefer that everyone gets a similar amount rather than some children getting much more or less than others.
  • Can I buy toys also?
    • Thanks to our partnership with Toys for Tots, all children also receive toys that the parents will choose as they come to pick up their clothing bag.  This empowers the parents to get a toy that their children really desire.  There is no need to purchase more toys, however, if toys are purchased, they will go to the child they were purchased for. 
  • Can I contact my angels personally? 
    • We respect the privacy of all our angel families.  If you have questions about a specific angel and need more information, please contact our office and we will reach out to them.
  • What if I adopt more than I can handle?  Can I return angels unadopted?
    • We know that sometimes groups may agree to adopting 100 angels but then only find 50 people to adopt them.  Please try your best to avoid this by getting information out early and often.  If you need to return angels to us unadopted, you will need to notify us by Nov 21.  If returned after this, we would request a cash donation with it as we will need to purchase clothing or gift cards for these children. It will simply be too late for us to find other sponsors.
  • When will I get my angel tags?
    • Our families will be registering in October.  We will be able to have all tags out by November 7 but if you need them before this, let us know so we can make special arrangements for you.  The tags can be picked up or mailed to you or in some cases, dropped off. 
  • Can I get my tags online for online adoption?
    • Yes!  Just let us know and we will set up a website just for you and your angels.  This works best in an office environment where everyone is working remotely and there may not be a central location for sponsoring and returning angels.
  • When are the gifts due back to you?
    • We need all gifts returned, clearly marked with their angel tag, by December 2nd.  We will work with you to make arrangements to either pick them up or you deliver them to us during office hours, 9am – 4pm Monday through Friday.
  • Who packs and sorts the Angel bags for distribution?
    • Volunteers!  If you are interested in helping sort angels, sort toys, or help with distribution day, let us know!  We would love your help!  We can take just 1 person or a whole group!
  • I know a family in need.  How do they sign up?
    • Families can sign up online during the month of October.  If they need to request an in-person appointment they can call our office for an appointment.  The link to sign up will be posted on our webpage and our facebook page.
  • Who do I contact if I have questions?
