CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Salvation Army of Clarksville is opening up registration for their Angel Tree program!

In-person registration is open Sep. 16 to 19 and Sep. 23 to 26 by appointment only — you call (931)-552-5350 to register a child.

Requirements

Children 12 years and younger can register, as long as they are in Montgomery, Houston, or Steward Counties. To register, you need their photo identification, birth certificate, closthing, shoe sizes and gift ideas, and a food stamp letter or verification of your income and expenses if you don't get food stamps.

Purpose

The Salvation Army's Angel Tree program wants to help ensure that every child in need in the community gets to enjoy Christmas morning. It's a way for every family who needs help getting gifts — like new clothes and toys — to have the opportunity to do so with no issues.

“The Angel Tree program is a cornerstone of The Salvation Army’s commitment to serving our community during the holiday season,” said Major Kati Chase, Corps Officer of The Salvation Army in Clarksville. “Each year, we see the incredible impact that this program has on both the recipients and the donors. It’s truly heartwarming to witness the generosity of our community and the joy that these gifts bring to children.”

The wishlists are created after children are registered. They are sent out to people in the community who will help buy the gifts specific to each Angel's needs and wants.

Churches, businesses and organizations in Clarksville can sign up to help get Angel Trees filled by calling (931)-552-5350 or visiting the website for more information.
