The Salvation Army is opening up the application process for families of young children and senior citizens who wish to have their name on a Christmas Tree ornament for the organizations Angel Tree and Silver Bells Christmas adoption program.  

The Angel Tree provides toys and clothing to children 12 years of age and younger. The Silver Bells assist seniors 65 years and older. Last year, the Salvation Army New Orleans Command provided much needed items and a lot of Christmas cheer to more than 1,700 children and seniors.

Those needing assistance will need to register and provide some information to qualify. Registration is going on now and will continue through Oct. 29.

All registrations will take place at: The Salvation Army, 4500 S. Claiborne Ave., New Orleans, LA 70125.
