The Wills Point Community Angel Tree program for 2021 wrapped up Dec. 10. Organizers stated, “Thanks to countless individuals, churches, and local businesses who picked an angel, gave gifts and food, donated funds, and/or gave of their time, clothing and toys for 302 children and food for their 108 families were distributed. Our volunteers collectively spent hundreds of hours shopping at numerous stores in several cities and sorting items received in an attempt to make sure that the children receive the right size clothing and at least one of their requested items among their three and that their families receive a good quantity of food. This truly was a community-wide effort, neighbor helping neighbor. Thank you for helping to make Christmas 2021 special for some very needy Wills Point families!” Courtesy photos
