Angel Tree Up In Northampton, Here's How To Help

NORTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA — Help make the holidays a little brighter for a neighbor in need by participating in the 2018 Angel Tree project.

Angel Trees are now up at the Northampton Library and the Newtown Post Office. Each tree is decorated with angles. The angels contain wishes (gift requests) of local children and their families.

To help, simply pick up a tag from one of the trees and purchase the requested item. Unwrapped gifts should be returned by Dec.14. They will then be sorted and deliver to the families Dec. 17.

In the past, gifts have ranged from toys to clothing and small appliances like a toaster.

The families are identified through the school lunch program by the Council Rock social workers and nurses nurses, according to organizer Paul Salvatore.

The families are not identified by name for the purposes of confidentiality. There's a number on the tag that identifies the recipient.
