Description

The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program helps provide Christmas gifts for thousands of children and seniors in the Cabarrus/Stanly county area each year. Community members graciously "adopt" many of the children in need by selecting names from the Christmas trees in area malls, but unfortunately, not every child is selected or some supplemental items are needed to ensure that every child has at least one complete outfit and a warm outer garment. For the past few years, the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary (SAWA) has held a new Clothes Drive to ensure there are enough clothes for the children and seniors in the Angel Tree program. This year, SAWA will have boxes out in area businesses the last two weeks of October to collect new clothing. Members of the public can drop off clothing donations at businesses, who have graciously agreed to host a box from October 16th through October 29th. For a complete list of clothing collection site addresses, please go to https://southernusa.salvationarmy.org/cabarrus-stanly/womens-auxiliary/ or https://sawaconcordnc.org/ Our Angels (boys and girls) range from newborns to 12 years old and our Silver Wings (seniors).  New clothing suggestions:  coats, hoodies, long sleeve tee shirts, jogging and sleep pants. underwear and shoes in all sizes, infants through adults. Businesses who would like to host a box can contact SAWA at 980-621-5394. For more information, contact 704-782-7822.  Thank you for helping children in need this Christmas season!
