Salvation Army, Toys for Tots call for Angel Tree gift donations for kids [Video]

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Salvation Army chapters in Wake and Cumberland counties say they still need many more presents for their Angel Tree adoptions.

The Salvation Army for the Sandhills is handing out donated presents to nearly 1,300 children this holiday season through its partnership with Toys for Tots. But resentatives in Fayetteville and Raleigh say they need more presents to go around.

“Even though they were adopted, people might forget to return them. And so we have to supplement those with extra things that we have,” said Major Cheryl Grider of the Salvation Army Sandhills Region chapter.

The Sandhills chapter still needs to fulfill wishlists for nearly 200 children. Volunteers mostly need presents for older kids–those around 10 to 12 years old.

“It just takes so much pressure off the families,” said Keirah-Lee Garry. “It allows them to actually enjoy their holiday, rather than stressing about the finances of it.”
