How do I sponsor an Angel Tree?
You can apply to sponsor an Angel Tree here:

Set up a tree at your church, school, or place of business. We'll supply you with a set of Angel cards to hang on your tree. People can pick up a card, buy the gift, and return them to your tree. You can call us at any time to pick up gifts from your location.
- Each card will have a senior's name and one or two needs for Christmas, for example a size XL sweater.
- The back of each card will have instructions for where, when, and how to return the gift.
- Gifts need to have the angel card attached to the gift (either taped or tied).
- Gifts will be returned unwrapped.
We will give you as many or as few cards as you want. A public location may need 100 cards, and a small office may need 10.
