Angel Tree Adopt-A-Family

Adopt-A-Family is our program for allowing you to support directly a family that signed up for Christmas Assistance. This program not only give gifts to just the children in the family but we ask that you give a family gift for the whole family enjoy. On top of that we ask that you help out by providing a Christmas Dinner. We want to make sure that families in need are taken care of and this is one way you can help. We would love for you our donors to adopt every family that signup for assistance so everyone has a good Christmas. If you are able to do that then fill out the form below and we will get back to you as soon as possible. If you aren't able to help out with Adopt-A-Family then still do consider helping us out by donating a toy or two at one of our many Angel Tree locations. Any kind of help goes a long way. If you have any question about Adopt-A-Family then please call 775-688-4555 or email us at salarmy.reno@usw.salvationarmy.org.
