The Salvation Army Hawaiian and Pacific Islands Division is seeking community assistance with its annual Angel Tree program, dedicated to providing Christmas gifts for keiki and kupuna and offering year-round support for families facing economic challenges.

Last year, more than 31,000 gifts were donated through the Angel Tree program in Hawaii. However, this year, as more and more of our local families face new economic challenges, the need for public support is greater than ever.

Through The Angel Tree Program, Christmas trees are decorated with paper angel tag ornaments with the first name, age and gender of a keiki or kupuna in need. Donors select one or more tags from the Angel Tree and purchase appropriate gifts for the keiki or kupuna described on the tags. The gifts are returned to the tree the tags were pulled from. Maui's Angel Tree is at the Kahului Walmart through Friday.

For those who prefer to shop online, you may also support The Angel Tree Initiative by visiting walmart.com/registryforgood for online Angel Tree Registries at Walmart. Customers can shop for gifts and have them delivered directly to their local Salvation Army to support keiki and kupuna throughout the state.

Starting at /week.
