MARINETTE – The Salvation Army is excited to kick off Christmas this year with a variety of upcoming programs and community involvement opportunities.
The Angel Tree program is now live. Families can sign up for their children to receive Christmas gifts donated by others in the community.
Each angel tag on the tree represents one child, and each tag lists clothing sizes, wants and needs for that child. Angel tags will be available at all Jacks locations in Marinette and Menominee, Mich., as well as Walmart in Marinette.
Organizers ask that shoppers buy three gifts for the selected angel. After picking up the gifts, please bring them and the tag to the main building at 80 W. Russell St., Marinette.
To sign up for the Angel Tree, visit the website, check Facebook or call for help navigating through the process.
Along with Angel Tree, there will also be donation boxes set out for the Christmas Toy Drive at various locations in Marinette and Peshtigo as well as Stephenson and Menominee, Mich. Any new toys can be dropped off at any of those boxes, or they can be brought to the main building.
Finally, The Salvation Army is kicking off their Red Kettle Campaign, and is in need of volunteers to ring the bell at the kettle sites. The kettle fundraiser funds many of the things The Salvation Army does for the community, including the Christmas food boxes that each Angel Tree family receives with their gifts. Those who would like to volunteer to ring may visit the website or call the main office.
