[December 12, 2024] Today, the Salvation Army will be picking up more than 300 gifts from The Heritage Companies across the US that have come from the Angel Tree program. The Salvation Army Angel Tree program provides an opportunity for community partners to come together to fulfill hundreds of thousands of children’s Christmas wishlists around the country.

Salvation Army National Community Relations and Development Secretary Dale Bannon said, “Through generosity from communities, we are able to bring smiles to families all over the world through our Angel Tree program. We are so grateful for The Heritage Companies’ dedication in being an active partner in our program and fulfilling 320 wishlists this year! The holidays stir a spirit of giving in our hearts and it’s beautiful to watch that joy of giving become the joy of receiving. We look forward to spreading the joy not only now, but year round through our continued work with the Heritage team.”

CEO of The Heritage Companies Ernie Garateix said, “We treasure our community and are always eager to be of help to make sure people’s needs are met, especially during the holiday season. The paths that the Salvation Army have paved to be able to reach families is something we wanted to capitalize on and so partnering with them through the Angel Tree program has been something we have loved doing for 10 years now. We are thankful for the ways they intentionally care for families and continue to bring joy to them this holiday season.”
