It's almost time for our annual Angel Tree! Every year we have a Christmas tree decorated with angels on it listing the individual names of the children that we serve and their Christmas wish/gift list. Starting Monday, November 2nd, you can come to our Warren office, located at the Market Place Plaza, 5000 E. Market St., Monday-Thursday from 8:30 am - 5:00 pm, to pick out your "Angel". We understand that it can be more fun to shop for the little ones, but we also serve young adults ages 18-21 and they too deserve a little extra caring at Christmas time too. We hope that you'll join in this loved tradition with us ... and please don't wait long as our "Angels" all go fast!
**All wrapped gifts need to be returned to NOAS no later than Tuesday, December 1st for distribution.
