The Salvation Army Angel Tree helps provide Christmas toys and other gifts for hundreds of thousands of children around the country each year. Once a child has been registered and accepted as an Angel their Christmas wish list is shared with donors in your community who purchase gifts of new clothing and toys. The gifts are distributed to the family to place under their family Christmas tree.

If a family is in need of toys, they need to apply online at: www.saangeltree.org. If family does not have internet access, the Salvation Army will take applications in person at local locations (Auburn, Roseville or Grass Valley).

For current year information, check Connecting Point's Holiday Resources page.
