This is the 35th year for the Angel Tree program in Kosciusko County, with The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary providing support and volunteers for the program. Names are cleared with other agencies to avoid duplication, according to Salvation Army Envoy Sina Locke, administrator.

It is anticipated that 200 or more families will be given Christmas assistance through Angel Tree.
