News : Benton County Angel Tree now ready for your help

What the Angel Tree is, so here’s a little bit about it!

The Benton County Angel Tree Program has been serving local families for over 30 years, helping an average of 300 families each year. Each child receives brand new toys and clothing for Christmas gifts, all thanks to the generosity of our community. 

We are a non-profit organization (we don’t have our 501(c)(3) yet, but it’s in the works!). Everything we do is possible because of people who donate cash, adopt a whole family, get angels off the trees at the banks, or drop off gifts at our donation boxes around different towns.

We are so thankful for everyone who donates, adopts, and continues to support the Benton County Angel Tree Program. You truly help make Christmas special for so many families! 🎄✨

Thank you to everyone who got their applications in!

We are officially helping 283 families this year — absolutely incredible! 

All Angel Tree tags are now out at the following banks:

🎄 Cedar Valley Bank – Vinton

🎄 US Bank – Vinton

🎄 Farmers Bank – Vinton

We also added a small tree at the coffee shop in Van Horne.

🎄 Recharge Coffee Shop – Van Horne

If you’d like to donate, we have drop-off boxes at these locations:

• Rooster’s Auto Repair – Vinton, IA

• Hitchin' Post – Garrison, IA

• Chelsea Savings Bank – Van Horne, IA

If you’d prefer to donate a different way, feel free to message their Facebook page or send me a message directly!

Thank you to everyone who donates and continues to support this amazing program!

You are making Christmas brighter for so many families. 🎁💛
