1,015 Volunteers, One Mission: Celebrating Our Angel Tree Partners
The Angel Tree season is one of the most meaningful times of the year for The Salvation Army, and at the heart of it all are our incredible volunteers. From the first tag placed on the tree to the final gift delivered, volunteers made it possible for children and families to experience hope, dignity, and joy during the Christmas season.
Throughout the Angel Tree program, volunteers dedicated countless hours to organizing tags, sorting and labeling gifts, assisting families, and ensuring every child was remembered. Their kindness behind the scenes and their smiles on the front lines created a smooth, welcoming experience for families during a time that can often be filled with stress and uncertainty.
Because of our volunteers’ commitment, thousands of children received thoughtfully chosen gifts and families felt the comfort of knowing they were not alone. Each toy sorted, each box packed, and each word of encouragement shared reflected the true spirit of the season: love in action.
We are deeply grateful to every individual, family, group, and corporate partner who volunteered their time and talents for Angel Tree. Your generosity made a lasting impact that extends far beyond the holidays and into the lives of those you served.
At the same time, Red Kettle volunteers stood outside stores, rang bells, and welcomed passersby with warm greetings and cheerful spirits. Each ring of the bell represented an opportunity to share our mission and invite others to give. Through long hours and changing weather, volunteers faithfully showed up raising critical funds that support vital programs well beyond the holiday season.
Together, Angel Tree and Red Kettle volunteers made an incredible impact. Their service provided gifts for children, assistance for families, and essential resources that will continue to meet needs throughout the year.
We extend our deepest thanks to every volunteer, individuals, families, youth groups, churches, and corporate partners who gave their time and heart this season. You are the reason these programs succeed, and because of you, The Salvation Army can continue Doing the Most Good, not only during the holidays, but every day of the year.
