  • Tarrant County: 229 E. Felix Street, Fort Worth
  • Collin County: 3528 14th Street, Plano
  • Ellis County: 620 Farley Street, Waxahachie

Bagging and Pickup

The organization requires that gifts be bagged for each Angel to facilitate smooth distribution. Families who receive Angel Tree gifts can pick them up through Thursday.

Community Voices

“There are individual stories of why people adopt, or because they were helped when they were a child. And that was the reason they got a Christmas. And so now they can’t afford to help somebody else. It’s always touching and encouraging when a community comes out and helps other people in need. And the reason it varies. And we just listen to their stories. And all their stories are so special to hear why they’re helping with Angel’s tree,” said Maj. Carolynn Webb with the Salvation Army.

Final Push

The Salvation Army stresses that distributions can still include any gifts returned Tuesday, ensuring no Angel is left out.

Key Takeaways

  • All Angels on the Salvation Army Angel Tree have been adopted.
  • Donors are urged to drop off remaining gifts by Tuesday at four Dallas-area centers.
