Memphis Gears Up for the Holiday Season with Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program
As the holiday season approaches, Memphis is embracing the spirit of giving, and there’s no better way to do this than by participating in the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program. This year, the organization is on a mission to spread joy and hope, but it can’t do it alone. They are looking for generous hearts to help adopt 584 angels before the deadline of December 6!
What is the Angel Tree Program?
The Angel Tree Program is a wonderful initiative that helps provide gifts to children and families in need. Each angel on the tree represents a child who is hoping for joy this holiday season. When you adopt an angel, you’ll choose one from the tree, shop for a few gifts, and then return those gifts to the designated Angel Tree spot by the deadline. It’s a delightful way to make a child’s holiday wishes come true!
How Can You Help?
If you’re wondering how to get involved, it’s easy! Simply visit their website to get all the details about how to adopt an angel. Remember, the deadline is quickly approaching—December 6! So, don’t dilly-dally! Whether you choose to buy gifts as an individual, with your family, or even as part of your workplace, every little bit counts.
Let’s Get Creative!
When selecting gifts, think about what a child their age would love. Here are some ideas to get the creative juices flowing:
- Toys – Action figures, board games, dolls—something to spark joy!
- Books – Give the gift of adventure or some good old-fashioned learning.
- Clothing – Warm winter gear is always appreciated during those chilly months.
- School Supplies – Help them prepare for the upcoming school year with supplies they’ll need!
This isn’t just about the gifts; it’s about showing the community that we care. For many families, these gifts will bring them a moment of happiness during what can sometimes be a tough season.
Black Friday Savings for the Holiday Spirit
As we gear up for the holidays, it’s also time to think about home prep and decorations. During Lowe’s Black Friday Buildup Sale, shoppers can find incredible discounts on home appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, dryers, and more. This is a great time to spruce up your home while getting ready to host family and friends.

In conclusion, the holidays are a wonderful time to reflect on what truly matters—family, friends, and generosity. By adopting an angel this season, you’re not just giving gifts; you’re giving hope. Let’s come together, Memphis, and show our community what it means to care. Remember, every angel adopted brings a smile to a child’s face, and that’s what the season is all about!
Happy holidays, and we hope to see you joining in the fun of giving!
