Episode Summary – Get ‘N Your Business Podcast, Episode 76
Host Alison Shores sits down with Alise Pate from the St. Marys Salvation Army to talk about Angel Tree season in Camden County—and all the ways this local team is quietly meeting needs all year long. Alise explains how the Angel Tree and Senior Tree programs work, from how children and seniors are referred, to where shoppers can find tags, to easy online options for giving through Walmart. She shares why unwrapped gifts and wrapping supplies matter, how distribution day is organized, and how every donation—whether a $5 stocking stuffer or a full wish list—helps make Christmas personal and joyful for local families.
