Christmas Assistance

Helping hundreds of children and families in the
Lynchburg area during the Holiday Season

The Salvation Army Angel Tree program provides Christmas gifts to children in need throughout Greater Lynchburg by sharing wish lists with community donors who purchase new clothing and toys. Since starting in Lynchburg in 1979, the program has expanded globally, helping thousands of families during the holiday season. Gifts are distributed to children in Lynchburg, Bedford, Amherst, Appomattox, Campbell, and Nelson County.
