Laurel Salvation Army Begins Scheduling for Annual Angel Tree Program
The Laurel Salvation Army has begun scheduling appointments for its Angel Tree program, aiming to provide Christmas gifts to children in need in the Laurel area.
Hattiesburg Laurel, MS, October 5, 2026 —
The Salvation Army in Laurel has commenced the scheduling process for its widely recognized Angel Tree program. This initiative is dedicated to ensuring that children in the local community have access to Christmas gifts during the holiday season. The program aims to support families facing economic hardship by providing toys and other essential items to children who might otherwise go without.
While the specific dates and times for appointment scheduling are now active, the summary did not provide further details on the exact commencement date for these appointments or the duration of the scheduling period. Interested individuals or families seeking assistance through the Angel Tree program are encouraged to contact The Laurel Salvation Army directly for information on how to schedule an appointment and to understand the eligibility requirements.
The Angel Tree program operates by collecting gift requests from families in need. These requests are then translated into “angel” profiles, which are typically displayed on Christmas trees in public locations or made available online. Donors can select an angel to “adopt” and purchase gifts for that specific child. The Salvation Army then facilitates the distribution of these gifts to the children before Christmas.
The specific number of children the program aims to assist this year was not detailed in the provided summary, nor were the locations where appointments can be scheduled or the specific methods for scheduling (e.g., phone, online portal). However, the organization’s commitment to serving the Laurel area remains central to the program’s operational focus. The success of the Angel Tree program traditionally relies on community participation and donations. Further details regarding volunteer opportunities or specific donation needs are expected to be released by The Laurel Salvation Army as the holiday season approaches.
