Angel tree

Col. Tracey Hayes, 90th Missile Wing commander and Chief Master Sgt. Michael Garrou, 90th MW Command Chief, select an “angel ornament” from the Angel Tree during the Angel Tree Program kick-off ceremony in the F.E. Warren Base Exchange Nov. 25, 2013. Warren’s First Sergeant’s Council sponsors the program which provides assistance to local families in need during the holidays. The Angel Tree, located in the Exchange, contains the wishes of 112 children, 30 of them from deployed families. On each “angel ornament,” an information card contains a child’s age, gender, clothing sizes and special gift requests. Donating individuals may choose one or more angels and purchase unwrapped gifts with the angel attached to them. The gifts are then left in the box next to the Angel Tree and will be delivered to the identified families at the end of the campaign, Dec. 9, 2013. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Stacy Foster)
