The deadline for returning applications for the United Way of North Central Arkansas’s Angel Tree program is fast approaching.
The Angel Tree Program assists low-income families in Independence County with Christmas gifts for their children. The applications may be picked up from the Department of Human Services (DHS) at 100 Weaver Ave., Batesville. Applications are to be returned to DHS no later than Tuesday, Oct. 31, 2023, for processing. No applications will be accepted after Oct. 31, 2022.
All information on the application is strictly confidential for those receiving services. The criteria for eligibility are:
- Children must be ages 2 (two) – 12 (twelve) and living in the home listed; and
- The household must be receiving S.N.A.P. (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program).
The United Way of North Central Arkansas Angel Tree Program helps hundreds of children each year know the joy of opening a gift on Christmas morning. Whether it’s a toy or new clothing, it’s a special moment that we want every family to share.
United Way relies upon individuals and businesses to select an Angel and give them joy on Christmas morning. Names will be available to purchase gifts for the Angels from Nov. 14 through Dec. 9. Monetary donations toward the Angel Tree Program are also welcome.
For more information or to donate or volunteer, please contact the United Way office at (870) 793-5991 or by email at info@liveunitednca.org.
