LONGVIEW, Texas — Sixty kids and senior citizens are in need of getting adopted to receive a present through the Salvation Army of Longview's Angel Tree program.
"I just hope that people will support us and help make this Christmas great for the children in need in our community," said Salvation Army of Longview Capt. Tamara Robb.
The deadline to adopt one of the angels is now extended until Monday, Dec. 16 because of the need. The organization relies on community support to provide toys to over 1,000 local children and gifts to senior citizens.
"They're working jobs and trying to make ends meet and Christmas is just that extra added pressure that they don't have enough money for. they're managing their money and their rent and their utilities but they don't have enough for Christmas," Robb said.
Those who still want to help can also donate online.
Angel requests can be picked up at the Salvation Army of Longview, located at 518 East Cotton St.
Robb said all gifts from the tree need to be returned by Dec. 16.
