Target hits bullseye for Angel Tree

Last year, over 13,000 toys were donated for needy families through our Angel Tree program. Times are tough for many Indiana families, so we’re expecting even more applications for Christmas assistance this year. So, our friends at Target are making it even easier to help.

Check out our Toy Shop TargetList on Target’s website. You’ll find “TargetLists” in the upper right corner. Click on the list and enter “The Salvation Army” for the first name and “Indiana Division” for the last name and choose “Indiana” for the state. You’ll see this:

The Salvation Army – Indiana Division – IN

Created For: The Salvation Army
List Type: Christmas

Event Date: December 17, 2008
Location: Indianapolis, IN
Created By: The Salvation Army Indiana Division

List Message: Last year, The Salvation Army Toy Shop provided Christmas for 1,700 Indianapolis children. Your donation through Target.com will help us continue “Doing the Most Good” for our littlest neighbors in need this Christmas.

What follows is a wishlist of toys  – like a virtual Angel Tree. Instead of going to one of our Central Indiana toy collection sites, you can select one or more toys on the TargetList and they will be shipped to us in time for Toy Shop on December 17th. You can also choose to purchase gift cards for kids who are a little too old for toys, but not too old to find something special under the tree.

So, while you’re shopping on-line playing Santa to your kids, you can help parents who are struggling this year play Santa to theirs!
