Appling Community Connection, Inc. along with various community partners is sponsoring the Secret Angel Program again this year.
This program is designed to provide toys to needy Appling County children at Christmas. The program serves children who are age two to 12, and all applicants are carefully screened for eligibility.
Last year, they were able to serve 450 children of Appling County.
This is a community effort for all businesses, schools, churches, agencies, families, and organizations to come together and not duplicate toys for children. The Secret Angel Program allows families to apply and community resources to go further in serving children.
If you or someone you know needs help with toys this Christmas, please go by Rentz and Rentz Insurance, DFCS (use after hours drop box), Chamber of Commerce, Interstate Credit Union, Barnes Pharmacy or the Lobby of Renasant Bank and pick up an application. Applications are currently available at these locations and all applications need to be turned back in at one of these locations no later than November 24. If your family is selected to receive toys, you will be notified in writing by December 11, and given instructions on where to pick up your toys.
