This program is for parents or legal guardians of children ages Newborn-18 years old who need assistance in providing their child(ren) Christmas gifts. They are here to help families who may have experienced an extreme emergency, financial hardships, or meet the Arkansas low-income requirements for 2024. Applicants must be a resident of Grant County, or the child(ren) is/are currently attending school in the Sheridan School District or Poyen School District.
Applicants are required to bring the following. If you do not have these documents and information ready, you will be asked to return to the office when you do.
- Proof of ID
- Proof of ALL household income
- Proof of Grant County residency or proof of the child(ren) is/are enrolled in the Sheridan School District or the Poyen School District for the 2024-2025 school year (a copy of a current report card or progress report)
- Proof of custody or guardianship of the child(ren) if they are not born to you
- A list of clothes, shoes, and coat sizes, and a list of your child(ren)'s wish list(s) when you come to fill out an application for Angels Tree
- Tell them if your phone number changes. Also, they need two different phone numbers in which they can contact the parent/guardian when the gifts are ready to pick up.
Adoption of Angels will begin Monday, November 4, 2024, and run until the last Angel has been adopted. Deadline for all Angel gifts to be returned will be staggered this year based on date of adoption. They will be closed for Veterans Day on Monday, November 11, 2024.
If you are aware of any child(ren) in need in Grant County, the Sheridan School District, or the Poyen School District, please have the family contact them. If your family needs help, please do not hesitate to call Tobie Wilkerson, Director at (870-942-7373) or visit the Family Resource Center of Grant County at 1685 Hwy. 270 East, Sheridan AR 72150.
Thank you for your support and Merry Christmas!

What is Teamwork?
Teamwork is the ability to work in unity with others towards a common goal. For us to learn how to become team players, it is important that we learn to listen, encourage our peers, and allow and invite others to contribute their talents and skills.
