If you or someone you know can benefit from this program, please apply!

Friends, we are less than three weeks away from starting registration for our 2026 Angel Tree program.

If your family needs help providing Christmas gifts for your children this year, please read the information below carefully.

📅 Registration opens:
September 14, 2026 at 9:00 AM

Registration will be online only. We will post the registration link on our page, so please keep an eye on our page that morning.

Who is eligible?
Angel Tree provides holiday assistance through new toys and clothing for children ages 0–12 for families who are experiencing financial need.

Please have these documents ready:
• Child's birth certificate
• Proof of household income
• Any other required information or documents

(Please apply as soon as registration opens and make sure all information is accurate and all required documents are attached.)

A few important things to know:

This year, we hope to serve 1,000 children. Because of the number of families we serve, submitting an application does not automatically mean that you will be approved. Every application is reviewed individually based on the family's needs and requests.

Please keep your requests reasonable. Expensive or unrealistic gift requests will be rejected.

If you are already receiving Christmas assistance through another similar program, please do not apply for Angel Tree. We want to make sure that the families who need assistance most have an opportunity to receive it.

Registration may close early.
We usually reach 1,000 children within about two weeks, but we cannot guarantee that registration will remain open for the full two weeks. Once we reach our limit of 1,000 children, the registration system will close. Applications submitted after registration closes will not be accepted.

So, if you need assistance, please don't wait. Mark your calendar for September 14 at 9:00 AM and apply as soon as registration opens.

(And if you are in a position to help a child this Christmas, we would love for you to consider adopting an Angel Tree tag. Tags will be available beginning October 5, 2026 - stay tuned for more info).

Thank you for helping us make Christmas a little brighter for children and families in our community.

Amigos, ¡faltan menos de tres semanas para que abramos las inscripciones para nuestro programa Angel Tree 2026!

Si su familia necesita ayuda para proporcionar regalos de Navidad para sus hijos este año, por favor lean cuidadosamente la siguiente información.

📅 Las inscripciones abren:
14 de septiembre de 2026 a las 9:00 a. m.

Las inscripciones serán únicamente en línea. Publicaremos el enlace de inscripción en nuestra página de Facebook, así que por favor estén pendientes de nuestra página esa mañana.

¿Quiénes pueden participar?

Angel Tree ofrece asistencia durante las fiestas a familias que enfrentan dificultades económicas, proporcionando juguetes nuevos y ropa para niños de 0 a 12 años.

Por favor, tengan estos documentos listos:

• Certificado de nacimiento del niño
• Comprobante de los ingresos del hogar
• Cualquier otra información o documento requerido

Por favor, soliciten la ayuda tan pronto como se abra el registro y asegúrense de que toda la información sea correcta y que todos los documentos requeridos estén adjuntos.

Algunas cosas importantes que deben saber:

Este año esperamos ayudar a 1,000 niños. Debido a la cantidad de familias que atendemos, presentar una solicitud no significa automáticamente que será aprobada. Cada solicitud será revisada individualmente de acuerdo con las necesidades y solicitudes de cada familia.

Por favor, mantengan sus solicitudes razonables. Las solicitudes de regalos costosos o poco realistas serán rechazadas.

Si ya están recibiendo asistencia navideña a través de otro programa similar, por favor no soliciten Angel Tree. Queremos asegurarnos de que las familias que más necesitan ayuda tengan la oportunidad de recibirla.

El registro puede cerrar antes de lo previsto.

Por lo general, llegamos a 1,000 niños dentro de aproximadamente dos semanas, pero no podemos garantizar que el registro permanecerá abierto durante las dos semanas completas. Una vez que alcancemos nuestro límite de 1,000 niños, el sistema de registro se cerrará. Las solicitudes recibidas después del cierre del registro no serán aceptadas.

Si necesitan asistencia, por favor no esperen. Marquen en su calendario el 14 de septiembre a las 9:00 a. m. y soliciten la ayuda tan pronto como se abra el registro.

(Y si este año está en una posición para ayudar a un niño durante la Navidad, nos encantaría que considerara adoptar una etiqueta de Angel Tree. Las etiquetas estarán disponibles a partir del 5 de octubre de 2026. ¡Estén pendientes para más información!)

Gracias por ayudarnos a hacer que esta Navidad sea un poco más especial para los niños y las familias de nuestra comunidad.

We’re back to our regular meetings (1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month) starting August 18th. If you are a local non-profit, community partner, or organization that would like to share more about the important work you do with our club, please send us a message to get on our schedule!

Our club is so proud to sponsor this program. Great job to our friends at the The Salvation Army - Lebanon, PA for providing this program!

It’s hard to believe our 6-week Educational Summer Camp has already come to an end. We already miss our campers. The gym feels so quiet now as we get things cleaned up and ready for Vacation Bible School next week.

Thank you to all the parents for trusting us with your precious kids this summer. It was a joy getting to spend six weeks with them, watching them learn, laugh, and make new friends.

This year we were blessed to serve 38 different children. Together we made so many great memories, from crafts and games to some wonderful field trips, including Hands-on House, the Lebanon Union Canal, Lancaster Science Factory, Lebanon High School Planetarium, Hershey Children’s Museum, and the Hershey Butterfly Atrium.

A big thank you to our Camp Director Vicky, our counselors Brady and Stefani, and our staff for all the hard work they put in every single day. It truly takes an army to make a program like this happen. We’re also so thankful for all of our volunteers who cooked meals, cleaned up, helped with field trips, and everyone who donated crafts, balloons, cereal, ice cream, and so many other things. Every bit of help made a difference.

We’re also grateful to the many organizations and individuals who came alongside us to make camp more than just a fun place to be. Our campers learned about financial literacy, gardening, hygiene, personal safety, healthy relationships and boundaries, healthy diet, farming, agriculture, animals, birds, plants, and so much more.

This camp would not have been possible without the generous financial support of United Way of Lebanon County, Annville-Palmyra Sertoma Club, Lebanon Federal Credit Union, and Northwest Bank. Thank you for investing in our kids and community.

Most of all, we thank God for another wonderful summer. We’re thankful for His protection over everyone, and for every volunteer, every donation, and every person who helped make this camp possible.

Stay tuned for updates from our Vacation Bible School next week, information about our new weekly children’s programs, and details about our 2026 Angel Tree registration.

God bless you all.
