2021 Christmas assistance programs
The programs go by various names. Depending on where you live and your local Salvation Army branch, the holiday assistance programs may be referred to as Adopt-A-Family, The Angel Giving Tree, Toys For Tots or even something generic such as Christmas food baskets. Some local branches may also be involved in handing out thousands of winter jackets through the Coats for Kids program. Some charities may even deliver free Christmas gifts by mail to the homebound or rural area.
