VU_ATX x Salvation Army

Join us on December 7th as we volunteer with the Salvation Army to wrap and pack presents for their annual Angel Tree program!

The Salvation Army's Angel Tree program has helped to fulfill the Christmas wishes and needs of children up to 12 years old throughout Central Texas. Low-income families apply to the program starting in September and provide The Salvation Army with a Christmas wish list for each child that includes new toys or games, along with clothing and shoe sizes. Donors then can “adopt” each of these Angels and fill an Angel Tree bag with gifts chosen for each child. Gifts are then distributed to parents a week before Christmas.

The donations they collect during the holiday season not only help provide gifts to children who would otherwise go without, but they also help provide food, shelter, and utility assistance to those who need it most every day of the year.

After the event, we'll be socializing at Doc's Backyard Grill for some #volunbeers!
