SALISBURY, MD. (Tuesday, December 10, 2024) — Perdue associates in Salisbury, Md., continued a decades-long partnership with the local Salvation Army to provide holiday gifts for children and families through the non-profit’s annual Angel Tree Program.

Two tractor-trailer trucks loads filled with bicycles, clothing, toys and more were delivered to the Salvation Army. More than 1,200 children in Wicomico, Somerset and Worcester counties will benefit from the Angel Tree program this year. Perdue is providing gifts for more than 500 children.

“Our Angel Tree program is one of our big Christmas efforts where people purchase gifts anonymously for families and children,” said Salvation Army Captain Angel Simmons. “It’s because of the generosity of long-time partners like Perdue and their associates, and others in the community, that we can support those who may be struggling this time of year.”

Families who signed up for the Angel Tree program will pick up their gifts before Christmas. Those families will also receive a holiday roaster chicken from Perdue.

“Knowing that families are struggling for whatever reason, especially during the holidays, it’s important for us at Perdue that we can play a small role in giving back to our community through this program,” said Bill See, senior manager of community relations for Perdue. “It’s especially meaningful to know that those children’s parents will have something for them to give their children on Christmas Day.”
