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 25th and conclude December 18th.
ANGEL TREES are located as follows:
Illinois: Wal-Mart, Silvis and Moline
SouthPark Mall by JCPenney’s
Iowa: NorthPark Mall by JCPenney’s
These locations will have volunteers at these locations from 11am – 8pm Monday through Saturday, and 11am -- 5pm on Sunday.
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.
Major Gary Felton, Quad Cities Coordinator for The Salvation Army, states that “Close to 1,500 families right here in the Quad Cities are depending on us. Every child in our community should wake up Christmas morning to find joy by having a toy under the tree."
