LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — With just a week left to adopt a child in need through The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree partnership with Walmart, the nonprofit is urging shoppers to open their wallets and their hearts.

The Salvation Army has thousands of families signed up to receive holiday assistance across the Del Oro Division, which covers Northern California and Northern Nevada.

Those families will receive toys for their children, thanks to the generosity of strangers. You can adopt children in need for Christmas and shop online at www.myangeltree.org.

Nationwide, The Salvation Army is partnering with Walmart and Sam’s Club for the Angel Tree program. Angel Trees with tags representing real children are up now in participating stores.

To adopt a child in need, choose a tag from an Angel Tree, purchase the gifts on the tag, and return the tag and gifts to the location indicated on the tag by Dec. 15.

You can also shop online through Walmart’s registry for good. Gifts purchased online will be sent to The Salvation Army location you choose.

Local registries can also be found at www.myangeltree.org. You can also round up your purchase to The Salvation Army on Walmart.com and the Walmart App.

Angel Trees can also be found at other local businesses. Contact your local Salvation Army for details. Salvation Army locations can be found at www.gosalarmy.org.
