It's not too late to help "Clark's Christmas Kids!" This is the 17th year Clark Howard and News/Talk 750 WSB have joined together with the Salvation Army and Georgia Department of Family and Children's Services to provide gifts for children in foster care across Georgia. Because of the generosity of Clark's listeners, the Christmas Kids Campaign collects about half of all the gifts DFCS gives to children in foster care. So, thank you for your support in this heartwarming labor of love.

Help a child in your area, no matter where you live.

It's not too late to help a foster child in your neighborhood. The Salvation Army Angel Tree program will continue to provide new clothing and toys for children and families in need throughout the Christmas season and beyond.

If you live outside the Atlanta area, or are unable to come out to a Wal-Mart to donate a toy in person, you can donate online now. Your money will go directly toward helping the children in your neighborhood, wherever you live, through the Salvation Army Angel Tree program.

Nikkeena Gilliam vividly remembers the many Decembers she would pass by The Salvation Army's Atlanta Toy Shop during its annual Angel Tree Distribution, slightly envious of the good-fortune of its recipients, but thankfully aware that gainful employment is what made her ineligible for the program. In September, sluggish business forced Gilliam's employer to cut much of her holiday work hours, leading her to tighten the already lean family budget and mentally prepare her five children for the prospect of a meager Christmas. "Nikeena is exactly the type of client that The Salvation Army's Angel tree and other programs are trying to assist." Explains Major James Seiler, The Salvation Army's Metro Atlanta Area Commander. "Even with 5 children she works hard and is committed to providing for her family. However, her salary, like that of many families in this weak economy, keeps her on the cusp of financial crisis. Our clients are the 'working poor' who to often have to choose between heating, eating, and other household expenses, and as a result the holiday season is often far from joyous." Thanks to The Salvation Army of Metro Atlanta and its many supporters, Gilliam and her five children are now amongst the 33,000 children and families that will receive new toys and clothing via The Salvation Army's Angel Tree program.
