Where to Pick Up an Angel

For over 30 years, sponsors like you have provided Christmas miracles to Humphreys County Angels.

I’d like to be
a sponsor!
I want to apply to
be an angel!

Being a sponsor is…

Fun for Businesses and Families

Give your employees or family the uniting and fulfilling experience of giving to others. You may sponsor just one child up to as many as you’d like!

A Rewarding Experience

You may know what it’s like to be without, or want your employees or children to understand a taste of it. Blessing others by becoming a sponsor is a great opportunity!

The Right Thing to Do

Helping others in need is our must fundamental job, especially for children and seniors with families who are struggling during the holidays.

Sponsor Questions

When will the Angel Trees be set up?

We normally have the Angels on the Angel Trees the Monday before Thanksgiving.

How much do I spend on the angels?

It is entirely up to you as to how much you spend on your angel.

Do I need to wrap the presents?

We would prefer that the presents for the children are not wrapped. You can include wrapping paper and tape with your gifts. You can leave the price tags on the gifts, but mark through the bar code, so the gifts can be exchanged but not returned.

When do the presents need to be returned and where do I bring them?

The presents need to be returned to Angel’s Project, 113 S Clydeton Rd., Waverly, TN 37185, behind the new Region’s Bank. Please make sure the Angel number is on each gift/bag. The Angel tag will have the dates the gifts need to be returned to HAP.

You will need to bring proof of residency, proof of income, birth certificates for each child, and a photo ID. Come to our office during signups, call us at 931-209-9430, or send us a message through Facebook Messenger to make other arrangements. Please make sure you know clothing and shoe sizes for each child/senior. Also provide a “Christmas Wish List” of something the child/senior really wants for Christmas.

Can I sign up for help from more than 1 program?

No, you can only receive assistance from one program each year. We work closely with the other assistance programs in the county and compare lists. If we find you are receiving assistance from one of the other programs, you will be contacted and removed from our program.
