Some Angels Still Up for Adoption

TYLER – With a deadline rapidly approaching, there are still a lot of angels remaining on the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree at Tyler’s Broadway Square Mall. When the week started, there were 700 angels left to adopt. That number has now fallen to 197. Any angels that have not been adopted by 7:00 this evening means some child or senior citizen in Smith County will not receive a Christmas gift. The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree is on the north end of the mall near Chick-Fil-A and JC Penney. The Salvation Army asks that gifts for angels be delivered to the mall by Sunday so that they can prepare for their December 18th and 19th distribution days. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

And the Salvation Army is reporting, despite generous gifts, their red kettle drive is down $22,365.82 behind last year’s total when compared to the same week in the campaign. There have been some generous donations, including 30 Eagle silver dollars. But the campaign is down with less than two weeks to go. Among the kettle locations this year are two in the Broadway Square Mall, one by Chick-Fil-A, and one by the customer services desk in the middle of the mall as well as a kettle at the Studio Movie Grill and at Slim Chickens on South Broadway.
