Benefits of Hosting An Angel Tree
For many companies, the holiday season is one of the busiest times of the year. But it’s also a wonderful opportunity to come together, champion a meaningful cause, and give back to the community. The Salvation Army offers an easy and compassionate way to embrace the giving spirit of the season.
Hosting an Angel Tree is an activity that can strengthen your corporate culture, encourage teamwork, and extend a helping hand to individuals in need. The process is simple. A Christmas tree at your location will display Angel Tree tags on its branches. Each tag lists items that children or senior adults who are registered in the program have requested. They might include a variety of new warm clothing, shoes, or toys.
Then employees are invited to select a tag, purchase the items, and return them per the instructions provided. Working together to coordinate the Angel Tree program, and fulfilling the needs of the recipients, creates synergy in the workplace. It’s a chance for coworkers to put important business values into practice including compassion and integrity. Everyone benefits from working towards a shared goal.
Bettering your community by investing in projects that people care about is very important. For decades, The Salvation Army Angel Tree program has been providing Christmas gifts for hundreds of thousands of people around the country. So many lives are deeply impacted by this gesture of love and hope—both those who give the gifts, and those who receive them.
