Where to Pick Up an Angel
For over 30 years, sponsors like you have provided Christmas miracles to Humphreys County Angels.
With the help of individual sponsors, business sponsors, and donations, Angel’s Project gives qualifying low-income children and seniors the extra help and love they need during the holidays.

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 Angels be on the Trees?
We normally have the Angels on the 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.
