Missed adopting an angel? You can still help!
Donate to ensure each child has a happy holiday this year.
This year, Northwest ISD had 1,540 students on the Virtual Angel Tree, the most angels needing adoption in the program's history!

Did you miss out on adopting an angel from this year’s Virtual Angel Tree program? We still need your help!

Because many angel donations will never be returned by the adopter, the NISD Angel Tree program is now accepting donations of clothing, toys, games, gift cards and more, to make sure each child on our list has a happy holiday season!

To coordinate a delivery, please contact pie@nisdtx.org today!
