PORT CHARLOTTE — The shelves at the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program distribution center aren’t empty, but they’re nowhere close to being able to handle the upcoming demand of 1,100 kids expecting Christmas presents.
The deadline for the program, which helps needy families by having members of the community select an angel from an “angel tree” and buy Christmas presents for the child listed on the angel, is fast approaching, and hundreds of kids may be left without a gift, according to Debbie Domer.
