Angel Tree
The Angel Tree Program
We are very happy to announce that the John Tyler Community College family will once again be working with NBC12 and the Salvation Army on the Angel Tree program. For the eighth year in a row, the generosity of John Tyler Community College’s faculty, staff and students will help children in our community enjoy this holiday season. We invite everyone to join the College and take part in this very worthwhile and rewarding endeavor.
Adopting an Angel
One hundred angels will be hanging on John Tyler Community College’s two Angel Trees, waiting to be adopted by faculty, staff and students. The trees are located in Goyne Hall at the Chester Campus and on the first floor of the Administration Building at the Midlothian Campus.
How to Adopt
Anyone at the College may adopt an angel. In many cases, offices, classes and clubs team up to buy gifts for a child. The steps are simple.
- Select your angel(s).
- Add your name and contact information to the Angel Sign-Out Sheet (located next to each tree).
- Purchase new gifts.
- Do not wrap the gifts.
- Tag each item with your angel’s code number.
- Place all of your angel’s gifts in a clear plastic bag and label the outside of the bag with your child’s code.
- Return your gifts by 12:00 p.m. on Monday, December 3 to College Relations, room E124, at Midlothian or to Goyne Hall, room A102c, at Chester. Important: Gifts for angels adopted at John Tyler Community College must be returned to the College.
Cash donations are also being collected in E124 at Midlothian and A102c at Chester. The money will be used to buy gifts for angels that are not adopted or returned. (Please note: We can only accept cash, not checks, and we cannot offer receipts.)
