Every year, The Salvation Army in Central Virginia helps provide Christmas Assistance to thousands of children and hundreds of seniors in the Richmond metro and Tri-Cities region. Families and seniors in need apply for Christmas Assistance through our Angel Tree program beginning in September. Generous donors in the community provide critically needed and wishlist items for the children and senior recipients and gifts are distributed in time to celebrate Christmas.
