The Angel Tree Gift Program helps to make sure each of our individuals have a gift to open on Christmas day. Because many of the individuals we serve have limited incomes, they are unable to purchase even basic items. Also, many of them are alone and have no family to support them.

To ensure each of them shares in the joy of the season, we set up an Angel Tree and each time an “angel” is adopted, we place an angel ornament on the tree. It is our goal to have each angel adopted and the tree full of angels! Some supporters choose to do the shopping, while others make cash donations and let The Arc “elves” work their magic.

Since 1963, The Arc of Southwest Georgia (formerly Albany ARC) has been on the frontlines of the fight for independence, community inclusion, and true citizenship for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in southwest Georgia.

We believe that people—all people—have the right to participate in community life, and to control their own destinies. That means living in your own home, having friends in the

community, shopping for necessities, going to work, enjoying a concert, in short, living an ordinary life.

During this season of giving and receiving, we hope you will reflect on the blessings you have received and begin to think of others and how you can help. As children we were taught that it is better to give than to receive. As this year comes to an end, we hope you will consider the Arc of Southwest Georgia as one of the most qualified nonprofit organizations to which you should make a charitable gift.

All donations are used to help individuals right here in southwest Georgia. 100% of all donations received go directly to each designated need. 

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

You're invited to participate in The Arc of SWGA Angel Tree Gift Program.
