What is the Angel Giving Tree Program?

The Salvation Army Angel Giving Tree Online Program is a national, online adoption program that allows customers to provide children, teens and seniors in need with Christmas gifts. JcPenney presents the Angel Giving Tree program and has made it easier for customers to shop, buy and ship their gifts from the convenience of their home, office or anywhere in the world. This year you have the opportunity to adopt angels as an individual or a group. After the “adoption”, you will receive all the information you need to shop for your angel. In 2010, over 70,000 angels were adopted online. JcPenney and The Salvation Army hope to exceed that number.

How do you give back during the holidays?

My family will be spending a little time on Thanksgiving to adopt our own angel online! I hope that you will join us at the Twitter party to learn more about the Angel Giving Tree. Leave a comment with your Twitter handle so I can keep my eye out for you!
