Baton Rouge, LA, November 4, 2026 — The Salvation Army of Greater Baton Rouge is launching its annual Angel Tree program, a critical initiative aimed at ensuring local children and seniors have access to holiday gifts and essential groceries. The organization is currently seeking widespread community assistance to support its goal of serving over 2,100 individuals this Christmas season.

The Angel Tree program allows community members to ‘adopt’ an angel, which represents a child or senior in need. Adopters then purchase specific gifts and/or groceries that have been requested by the individual they are supporting. This direct method ensures that donations meet the particular needs and desires of the recipients.

Organizers emphasize that the need is significant this year, with the program aiming to assist more than 2,100 children and seniors within the Greater Baton Rouge area. The Salvation Army is calling on individuals, families, and businesses to contribute to the effort, whether through adopting an angel, making a monetary donation, or volunteering time.

Details regarding how to adopt an angel, make financial contributions, or inquire about volunteer opportunities for the Angel Tree program are available through The Salvation Army of Greater Baton Rouge. The organization relies heavily on the generosity of the local community to fulfill its mission during the holiday period.

The success of the Angel Tree program is directly tied to community participation. By providing gifts and groceries, residents can help bring holiday cheer to vulnerable members of the community. The Salvation Army has been a long-standing provider of social services, and the Angel Tree program remains one of its most impactful holiday outreach efforts.
