The Salvation Army has promised over 4600 Angels that live in Berkeley, Charleston or Dorchester County this year. These are children 12 and under whose parents have come to The Salvation Army and Debi’s Kids, applying and showing that they are in need of assistance during the holiday season. Toys, clothes, shoes, books, a stuffed animal and toy is what will be provided for each of the angels. Through the generosity of those in our community including individuals, churches, organizations and businesses the goal to provide for all these children can be met.
