Pick Up “Angel Tree” Wishes at Local SUBWAY® Restaurants

SUBWAY restaurants have joined with Debi’s Kids and the Salvation Army Angel Tree in hundreds of participating restaurants throughout the Lowcountry to make the season brighter for children in the local community. The Angel Tree program gives donors an easy way to provide new, unopened toys and clothing to children who otherwise would receive few or no presents at Christmas.

Last year, the program served more than 4,600 children and the need has continued to grow with many first-time requests.

“We care about the community and want to help families, who often have to make tough decisions at the holidays between meeting basic needs and having gifts to open at Christmas,” said Rhonda Kilgore, a local owner of SUBWAY® restaurants. “We encourage those who can help to stop by local SUBWAY restaurants and make a difference this holiday season.”

From Nov. 25 through Dec. 14, participating SUBWAY® restaurants in Charleston and the surrounding areas will display angel tags with guidelines to select the gender, age and type of gift for a needy child in the local area. For information on drop-off locations for new, unwrapped gift donations visit www.live5news.com. Angel Tree gifts will be distributed by the Salvation Army the week of Dec. 19 in time for Christmas.
