Salvation Army Christmas Initiatives

The Salvation Army has two main Christmas initiatives:

1. Angel Tree Program provides hope and joy to children and families during the Christmas season. This year we’re partnering with organizations, groups, businesses and individuals to provide a Christmas need and a wish to 3,000 Lee County children as well as items for a holiday meal for their family. If anyone is interested in helping, they can visit our Angel Tree at the Edison Mall, or visit our web site (www.SalvationArmyLeeCounty.org) to adopt an Angel online or find out other local businesses that are hosting a physical Angel Tree. Gifts are due to our warehouse by December 12. (Questions? Call (239) 278-1551).
2. Red Kettle Campaign raises funds to help support our Christmas assistance programs and other social services throughout the year. This year’s campaign is running from November 23-December 24. Volunteers are a critical piece of making the campaign a success and helping the most people we can in Lee County. Interested individuals and groups can sign up by visiting www.RegisterToRing.com, entering their zip code (or city/state) and selecting a time, day and location that works for them. We are ringing at various Pulblix, Walmart and Winn-Dixie locations throughout Lee County as well as Bass Pro Shops, JC Penney and a few local schools are hosting kettles. Local businesses and organizations are also welcome to host a kettle at their site. Questions? Call (239) 278-1551.
