Houston Angel Tree Program: Helping 11,500 Families and 1,700 Seniors This Christmas

The Angel Tree Program

• 🎯 The Angel Tree program, in partnership with the Salvation Army, aims to bring joy to children and seniors in need this holiday season.
• 🤝 KHOU 11 is a proud partner of the Angel Tree program and the Secret Santa toy drive.

Program Reach and Impact

• 🎄 This year, the Salvation Army is supporting 11,500 families, including approximately 1,700 seniors.
• ⚠️ Many individuals in the program fall into the income gap, earning too much for government aid but not enough for a comfortable Christmas.
• 💡 A heartwarming anecdote shared describes delivering gifts to a young boy who had nothing, bringing him and his mother to tears of joy.

How to Help

• 🛍️ Companies and stores like Walmart set up angel trees where you can pick a tag with a recipient's wish list.
• 🎁 Purchase the requested items and donate unwrapped toys.
• 💻 Donations can also be made online through the Salvation Army website; you can choose a gift to buy and have it delivered directly, or make a cash donation.
• 📱 A QR code is available to directly access the registry for the KHOU 11 Secret Santa toy drive, making it easy to select a toy.
• 💰 Don't forget the red kettles found outside many stores; even a small cash donation can make a significant difference.
