Giving Everyone Hope for a Merry Christmas
Every year, The Salvation Army of Miami County provides Christmas toys to children in need through the Angel Tree, and Toy Shop programs. Children (ages 0-15) who are registered for the Angel Tree program will have their specific Christmas wishes listed on Angel Tree tags, which are “adopted” and fulfilled by community members and organizations. For the children who are not “adopted” the parents will be able to “shop” in the toy store that will be set up with new toys donated from the community members, organizations, and toys-for-tots.
We will be taking applications for Christmas Assistance on November 13th and November 20th from 9:00am -1:00pm. This will take place in the gym of Parkview United Methodist Church, 1785S SR19, Peru Indiana. To ensure the safety of both the applicants and Salvation Army staff social distancing will be followed and mask will be preferred.
To apply for assistance, please have the following items/documents available:
- Government-issued picture ID for the parent/guardian of the household
- Birth certificates or custody papers for all children 15 years or younger
- Proof of address and residency in Miami County (current lease or utility bill is preferred)
Any questions can be directed to Angela Quinn at The Salvation Army, 765-473-5498.
