Seasonal Assistance

Seasonal Assistance

The Salvation Army of Western Pennsylvania wants to ensure everyone feels the special joy surrounding the Christmas season. To help make that possible, The Salvation Army provides children and individuals with Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, winter coats, clothing, toys, and gifts each year. One of the primary programs we use to provide toys, gifts, hope, and Christmas joy to families in need is The Salvation Army Angel Tree Program. First introduced in 1979 in Lynchburg, Virginia, the program began when Captains Charles and Shirley White developed a simple yet meaningful way for shoppers to support children in need by selecting angel tags from a Christmas tree. What started as an effort to provide clothing for 472 children has grown into a nationwide program providing clothing, toys and gifts to more than a million children and their families each Christmas.
