Standing in front of Amy’s Angel Tree are Snyder Walmart associates and West Texas Children’s Advocacy Center representatives (l-r) Paula Uruh, Rebecca Burk, Avan Ceballos, Micayla Redman, Dora Little, Kelly Martinez, Alura Silva, Jennifer Foust, Brenda Greenwood, Shandy Miller, Dariela Pinney, Chris Wind, Audrey Tollison, Merecedes Navarette and Adam Negrete. Residents may pick one of the 150 names off the tree to buy Christmas gifts for children.
The West Texas Children’s Advocacy Center and Walmart want to provide children in the area with a merry Christmas.
The center set up Amy’s Angel Tree inside Walmart Thursday afternoon. The tree is filled with 150 names of children in need.
The information includes the child’s shirt, pant and shoe size, any specific needs and their favorite color or character. It also includes the child’s gender and age.
The tree is named in honor of Amy Rainey, a Sweetwater pharmacist and a victim of domestic abuse.
The trees have been set up for more than a decade in Sweetwater and Snyder.
Clubs, organizations and individuals are invited to choose a child or children to shop for and leave the items at designated locations inside Walmart Supercenter. The unwrapped items may also be dropped off at the center’s Snyder office, located at 1907 40th Street.
Donations and gift cards are welcome as well.
The deadline to drop off donations is Dec. 17.
