Families in Izard County seeking assistance with Christmas gifts for their children can now register for the Angel Tree program. Sign-up options include visiting participating locations or accessing the Izard County Angel Tree Facebook page.

In-person registration is available at Southern Sparks and First National Bank of Izard County, both located in Melbourne. The program accepts applications for children from birth until they start school or are homeschooled.

Community members will soon be able to pick up Angels from the tree and return them with gifts. According to program organizers, the Angels will be available for pickup next week.

For more information or assistance, families can contact Brittney Mitchell at 870-291-0615 or Lissa Davis at 870-750-0209.
