Thank you to everyone who has already adopted an angel. However, there are still many angels waiting to be adopted.

We have extended the drop-off times to allow for more shopping time. Angel Tree gift donations can be dropped off during the following hours at the Sixth Grade Center located at 800 Eagle Dr.
