Local SUBWAY® restaurants across North Carolina are working with The Salvation Army to fulfill the Christmas wishes of children in the 2014 “Angel Tree” program. Anyone in the community able to help can stop by participating SUBWAY® locations and pick up one or more of the colorful, paper angel tags. Each Angel Tree tag lists the age, gender, clothing sizes and gift wishes of a deserving child in the local area.
“2014 has been another difficult economic year for so many families,” said Major Bobby Lancaster, Commanding Officer for the Charlotte Area Command of The Salvation Army. “With the statewide effort through local SUBWAY® owners, we anticipate being able to help even more families this Christmas.”
Major Lancaster asks contributors to return new, unopened toy and clothing gifts unwrapped to their local Salvation Army by Sunday, Dec. 14. All gifts received will be distributed to the families by The Salvation Army in time for Christmas.
“Our work with the Salvation Army has grown over the years, and we’re pleased to be able to support our neighbors in need,” Wendell Rowell, local owner of SUBWAY® restaurants. “The generosity of our customers and employees makes the Angel Tree campaign successful and for that we thank them.”
