Anticipating a high need the Salvation Army of Johnson City’s 2023 Angel Tree applications opened early on Friday, which provides children in Washington, Carter and Unicoi counties with Christmas gifts during the holiday season.The Angel Tree program has been providing families in financial need with Christmas gifts for years. Once a child up to 15 years of age has been registered and accepted as an “angel” with the Salvation Army, their Christmas wish list is shared with community donors, who purchase gifts of clothing and toys for them. The gifts are then distributed to the families.
