Faulkner Chevrolet and its employees supported the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program this holiday season by providing gifts for 35 children ages 2 through 16. After the successful collaboration last year, the company decided to support the local children of Lancaster County and to partner with the Salvation Army for the second time in as many years.

The Angel Tree program is an annual event in which children ages 2 through 18 can request gifts and the Lancaster community supports the effort to grant their wishes. Children provide their size for a new jacket and request pajamas, tops, bottoms, hats, gloves and scarves to keep them warm during the winter months. Toys can range from crafts and board games to dolls, stuffed animals and more. The goal is to bring joy to many children during the holiday season.

Faulkner Chevrolet general manager Chad Berger reported that many staff members granted wishes for more than one child. Gifts were collected from mid-November until Dec. 1, with a delivery date of Dec. 2.

Berger pointed out that the Salvation Army is hosting its Red Kettle Campaign this holiday season and representatives are stationed across Lancaser County and would appreciate any additional support.
