THE SALVATION ARMY ANGEL TREE âą WALMART AND SAMâS CLUB
The Salvation Army Angel Tree is a way to help children have new clothing and toys this Christmas. The Salvation Army says it has worked with Walmart for more than 40 years, and that the Angel Tree program provides new clothing and toys to more than one million children in need each year.
Once a child is accepted as an Angel, you can shop their Christmas wishes in two ways: online through Walmartâs Spark Good Registry, or by picking up a tag at a participating store.
Shop online
On The Salvation Armyâs Angel Tree page, you enter your zip code to find your local Salvation Army unit, then add gifts for children in your community to a Walmart cart through Walmartâs Spark Good Registry. If you choose delivery, Walmart ships the items directly to that local Salvation Army.
Shop in store
You can also visit a participating Walmart or Samâs Club, select an Angel tag from the Angel Tree display, and shop for the items listed on the tag. Return the unwrapped gifts to the collection bin in the store, or take them to the Salvation Army address on the back of the tag. The Salvation Army notes that participating locations are still being added to its list every Wednesday.
Collection bins can be found in participating Walmart stores starting November 15. If you prefer, you can also hand-deliver gifts to your local Salvation Army.
When you return gifts in store, scanning the QR code unlocks a $10 donation from Walmart to The Salvation Army, up to $1 million, to support Angels and families, according to the program page.
After the gifts arrive
Once the gifts are received, The Salvation Army distributes them to families in need so parents and caregivers can place the presents under the tree on Christmas morning.
Program details and local maps are on The Salvation Armyâs Angel Tree page. Availability of stores, tags, and collection bins can vary by location, so check the maps and your local store for current information.
