Columbia’s Angel Tree Program: Deadline Approaches to Adopt a Child for Christmas

COLUMBIA, S.C. – The Countdown to Be an Angel

Hey there, Columbia! Are you feeling the holiday spirit yet? With Christmas just around the corner, it’s time to think about spreading some cheer to children in need through the popular Angel Tree Program. But hurry, because the deadline to adopt a child is coming up fast — it’s this Friday, December 6!

What is the Angel Tree Program?

If you’re not familiar with the Angel Tree Program, let me fill you in! It’s a fantastic initiative aimed at ensuring that every child experiences the joy of opening gifts on Christmas morning. Each year, caring individuals and families from our community come together to provide Christmas presents for children who might not otherwise receive any. This year, the program has gone fully digital, making it easier than ever for you to play a part in this rewarding effort.

How Does It Work?

This year, adopting an angel is as simple as clicking a few buttons! All you need to do is access the online Angel Tree Program, where you’ll find a list of children and their Christmas wishes. Each child is represented by a unique “angel” that highlights their age, gender, and a few gift ideas. Once you find a child whose story resonates with you, just follow the prompts to adopt them. It’s a straightforward process that opens the door to making a significant difference in someone’s life.

Your Participation Matters

Participating in the Angel Tree Program is not just about giving gifts; it’s about making a connection. For many children in our area, your generosity translates into hope and joy. Imagine the smile on a child’s face when they unwrap their gifts, knowing that someone in their community cares about them. It’s this kind of impact that makes the holiday season truly special!

Community Support

A huge thank you goes out to our local sponsor, JT’s Automotive Group, for supporting this wonderful initiative. Their contribution helps make it possible for even more children to feel the warmth of the season. Local businesses and residents are all coming together to create a nurturing environment for our youth, and that’s something to celebrate!

What Kind of Gifts Can You Give?

When you adopt an angel, you’ll often see that the requested gifts are not just toys, but also items like warm clothing, school supplies, and books. These gifts reflect the real needs of the children in our community, making your participation that much more impactful. So whether you’re looking to give a child a fun toy or something essential for everyday life, you’ll be able to find the perfect match.

Time is Running Out!

If you’re still on the fence about participating, let this be your sign to jump in and become a holiday hero! Remember, the deadline is this Friday, December 6, so don’t wait too long! You’ll not only be embracing the holiday spirit but also sharing it with a little one who needs it most.
