Every child deserves a good Christmas. Each year, various organizations collect gifts for area children to ensure everyone gets a gift. The Great Bend Salvation Army will again have Angel Trees at Walmart and Pizza Hut this year. Barton County Outreach Coordinator Jennifer Vest said applications to get on an Angel Tree must be submitted by 5 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 18.

"If they want to get on the tree, they can call me or they can come by my office at the Central Kansas Dream Center and I can get them an application," she said.

Each angel on the tree will have information about the child and gifts the child has asked for. There are several ways of getting those gifts to the child.

"If you want to give gifts, you can go take one of the angels off the tree," said Vest. "You can either leave the gifts at Walmart or you can drop them by my office at the Dream Center, or they can call me and I will come by and grab it."

Vest is also seeking volunteers for the Salvation Army's Red Kettle Campaign that collects money to spend locally. Contact Vest at (620) 869-9447, or find her at the Central Kansas Dream Center, 2100 Broadway Ave., in Great Bend.
