The Salvation Army is seeking toys to save Christmas for thousands of less fortunate children in the Quad Cities. The Salvation Army
encourages people to add just one more child to their Christmas list...a child living in poverty. Angel Trees start
November 27th and conclude December 14th.
ANGEL TREES are located as follows:
Illinois: Wal-Mart, Silvis and Moline
SouthPark Mall by JCPenney's
Iowa: Wal-Mart, Elmore Ave and West Kimberly will host
Fill the Truck Dec. 5th, from 9am - 5pm.
NorthPark Mall by JCPenney's
These locations will have volunteers at these locations from 11am - 8pm Monday through Saturday, and 11am -- 5pm on Sunday.
Major Gary Felton, Quad Cities Coordinator for The Salvation Army, states that "Close to 1,500 families are depending on us. Every child in our
community should wake up Christmas morning to a new toy. This final week's hard work will hopefully be enough so we can let children know
they are special on Christmas morning!"
Last year, thousands of toys were displayed at The Salvation Army's Toy Shop on the Christmas Assistance distribution days. Parents are able to
"shop" for their child's gift, and also receive a food box with the ingredients for a Christmas dinner. This program has been in the Quad Cities for decades.
