Perdue Associates Provide Holiday Gifts For More Than 800 Children Through Maryland Salvation Army Angel Tree Program
December 11, 2018
SALISBURY, MD. (Tuesday, December 11, 2018) — Perdue associates in Salisbury, Md., continued a decades-long partnership with the local Salvation Army to provide holiday gifts for children and families through the non-profit’s annual Angel Tree Program.
Several trucks loads filled with bicycles, clothing, toys and more were delivered to the Salvation Army. More than 400 families and 800 children in Wicomico, Somerset and Worcester counties will benefit from the program.
“Our Angel Tree program is one of our big Christmas programs where people purchase gifts anonymously for families and children,” said Salvation Army Captain Christina Tarntham. “It’s because of the generosity of long-time partners like Perdue and their associates, and others in the community, that we can support those who may be struggling this time of year.”
Families who signed up for the Angel Tree program will pick up their gifts the Thursday and Friday before Christmas.
“Knowing that families are struggling for whatever reason, especially during the holidays, it’s important for us at Perdue that we can play a small role in giving back to our community through this program,” said Bill See, senior manager of community relations for Perdue. “It’s especially meaningful to know that those children’s parents will have something for them to give their children on Christmas Day.”
