Christmas Angels
The Christmas Angels program provides moderately-priced gifts to disadvantaged youth. Local banks put up Christmas trees each season, which are adorned with angels that have their Christmas wishes on them. Patrons of the banks select angels, purchase gifts, and put them beneath the tree, wrapped and labeled for the child.
Unfortunately, not all the angels are chosen from the tree, so Rotary raises funds to purchase those gifts so that no child will go without on Christmas morning. In addition to fund raising, the club advertises and then puts together a call center for those wishes to be phoned in. We wrap presents that we purchase and that come back to the banks unwrapped. Last year over 100 families with almost 300 children participated in the Christmas Angel Program.
This outstanding program was created and run by the Long Beach Grange for many years. When the Grange had to let go of the program, Rotary stepped in to fill the void.
