"We need donations from the community more than ever, and so we have simplified the process of giving," said Major Tricia Brennan.

Last year, the Angel Tree program collected 10,362 toys, ensuring children received gifts on Christmas Day.to make secure online donations and learn more about each Christmas program. The website also offers options to purchase toys for children through the Virtual Angel Tree, with online registries available at Walmart and Amazon.

Monetary donations will also support the Red Box Holiday Meal program, which provides central Ohio families with a holiday meal. For $75, donors can supply a family with a Red Box containing everything needed for a warm holiday meal and a joyful gathering.
