Be an angel this year

VisionBank is recruiting angels for the holidays

Ogden, Iowa – November 8, 2017 – ‘Tis the season to be an angel in Ogden. 

People in the Ogden community are needed to help spread cheer and extend hope by making the holidays brighter for local children. The Angel Tree project – facilitated by staff at VisionBank – will provide willing “angels” a way to provide gifts for youth in need. Sponsor cards will list the age, size, wants and need of a specific child (no names given), so angels can buy appropriate items that will not only meet real needs, but also brighten the Christmas holiday in a specific way.

This is the 28th year for the Angel Tree project in Ogden. VisionBank has worked through the Ogden Community School District for years to get the names and needs of local families, and VisionBank staff coordinates all the sponsor cards, gift buying, wrapping and delivery before Christmas.

Sponsor cards are available at the VisionBank Ogden location (217 West Mulberry) beginning Wednesday, November 22. Individuals may pick up sponsor cards, or they can make a contribution to make sure remaining needs are met. Gifts will be distributed to children before Christmas Day.
