United Way's Angel Tree
United Way of North Central Arkansas’ Angel Tree Program helps hundreds of children each year know the joy of opening a gift on Christmas morning. Whether it’s a toy or new clothing, it’s a special moment that we want every family to share.

They are to be returned to DHS no later than Friday, November 1st, 2024, for processing. NO applications will be accepted after November 1st, 2024.
