Help grant a wish & give a smile with he Salvation Army Angel Tree program

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - It's the final week for the Salvation Army Angel Tree program. The Christmas Assistance Program helps over 300 Yuma County families and provides holiday food boxes and gifts to children up to 12-years-old.

Locals can find the angel trees tags at Walmart, Sam's Club, and several other local business around town. Each tag represents a specific child in Yuma that needs your help to make their Christmas dreams come true.

"It's going to give you their three wishlist items as well as their clothing sizes and their most needed clothing item, so if you're able to get one of their wishlist items, if you're able to get them all, if you're able to team up with a family or friends and fill that tag, each and every bit of it helps," said Yuma Salvation Army Corps officer Lt. Amber Herzog.

The deadline to return the tags is this Friday, December 12 in order to get the items packaged and delivered to the families before Christmas.

You can bring them to Salvation Army red bins or any fire station in Yuma County.
