Nov. 8. The Davidson Police Department is currently kicking off its annual Angel Tree Program, a tradition that spans more than 20 years.

The program has historically provided toys and clothing for children in need, but expanded in recent years to include providing elder and disabled residents in need with gifts of grocery and gas gift cards.

After the severity of the COVID-19 virus in 2020, the Angel Tree Program has adapted to work through in-person contact, by phone, or digitally through email policeinfo@townofdavidson.org or our website. Those interested in participating, either by becoming a sponsor or by making a monetary donation, are asked to contact the Davidson Police Department at 704-892-5131 during normal business hours. Donations can also be accepted directly online.

So that police staff have ample time to match sponsors with children, and sponsors have enough time to both purchase and drop off their gifts, the deadline to sign up to participate is Dec. 7.

For information on the Angel Tree, please call 704-892-5131 or visit  www.townofdavidson.org/angeltree.
