Numerous toys were gathered from Islip Town Hall and transported to the Salvation Army for distribution among recipients of the organization’s Angel Tree program.
Staff members from the Town of Islip demonstrated exceptional generosity by purchasing toys, clothing, shoes, and games based on the wish lists of 60 Salvation Army Angels. The unwrapped items were placed Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter’s office.
“Santa’s helpers” then collected the items and distributed them to families enrolled in the Angel Tree program.
“It is truly heartwarming to ‘adopt’ these angels, and to know that you’re ensuring a very Merry Christmas for a child,” Carpenter said.
The Town of Islip has participated in the Salvation Army Angel Tree program since 2015.
