ORLANDO, Fla. – WKMG-TV once again teamed up with The Salvation Army and BFARR Contracting for Giving Tuesday to help those in need.
WKMG hosted a phone bank from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday, where viewers could donate to the Angel Tree program by calling 888-436-6665 or texting GOOD to 24365.
With matching donations, the Salvation Army Giving Tuesday phone bank managed to raise $215,000, which will be used to fulfill the wishes of angels who may not have been adopted or for supplemental gifts for angels who may need something special.
Angel Tree ensures that children and seniors around Central Florida wake up to gifts on Christmas morning.
This year’s program kicked off Nov. 15 with 6,000 Angels up for adoption. This year, 5,000 angels represent a child ranging from infants to 14-year-olds in Orange and Osceola counties. The other 1,000 angels are seniors who might not have a Christmas if it were not for donations.
There are two ways you can adopt an Angel this year — you can adopt your Angel virtually this year, as well as in person at participating locations.
Click the “Adopt an Angel” button to be rerouted directly to the angel adoption site for Orange and Osceola counties.
Sort through a variety of Angels and select the one(s) you wish to adopt.
Print Tag/Adoption Confirmation.
Donors can choose to adopt an angel from locations across Central Florida, including the Mall at Millenia and participating Chick-fil-A restaurants.
