2019 UAB Student Involvement and Leadership Angel Tree
The Angel Tree is a unique program that started in Lynchburg, Virginia in 1979. It involves the community in a direct way allowing them to become personally involved by sharing with those less fortunate in their community. The program provides gifts of new clothing and toys to thousands of children who otherwise might not have anything for Christmas.
Children who are recipients of Angel Tree gifts are from families who have applied for Christmas assistance through the Social Services program of The Salvation Army. During the application process, the clothing sizes and special needs of the children are determined and written on the application and is then transferred to paper “angels” along with the child’s first name, age, and whether the gift is for a boy or a girl.
Please help us in the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership provide donations for the Salvation Army's Angel Tree Program. We have adopted 50 Angels and would greatly appreciate your support in providing holiday gifts for the children of these families.
Please visit the front desk within the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership to sign up and sponsor your Angel(s). You may participate as an individual, organization, or even a department.
The last day to drop off your donations will be Wednesday, December 5th at 6:00pm in the Office of Student Involvement, Hill Center Suite 230.
