Salvation Army Angel Tree Program
The Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program gives individuals and partnering corporations an opportunity to adopt less fortunate children and seniors and provide them with personalized gifts and necessities. Without the program, many of these individuals would otherwise receive very little or nothing during the Christmas season. Parman has been a sponsor for the Angel Tree Program for several years and Parman employees are able to “adopt” an angel (or angels) each year and purchase gifts for many in need.
