You may have noticed a small tree at the front desk with cards hanging from its branches — this is The Salvation Army’s Angel Giving Tree! 💚

Each card represents a child (age 11 or under) from across HRM. Many families can’t afford gifts during the holidays, and the Angel Giving Tree helps ensure every child experiences a bit of holiday joy. All cards are gender-neutral, making it easy for anyone to participate.

How It Works
1. Take one (or more!) cards from the tree.
2. Check the list of most-wanted gift ideas posted under the tree in the lobby.
3. Purchase the gifts — please leave them unwrapped.
4. Drop off your gifts at any of the designated locations during their operating hours.

Drop-Off Locations
* Tommy Hilfiger
* Take It Outside
* Dartmouth Crossing Admin Office

Thank you for helping bring joy to children across the HRM this holiday season! 🎄❤️
