2025 Christmas Angel Tree
A Unity in the Community Project Benefitting Children in Foster Care Through the Wake County Guardian ad Litem Program
November 16 – November 30
For over 20 years, Unity of the Triangle has provided Christmas gifts to children and teens in the Wake County foster care system through our Christmas Angel Tree. This an opportunity to share our love and generosity with these kids and teens during the holidays. We know from doing this so many years what a meaningful difference this makes in their lives!
Important Dates!
All Angels need to be claimed by November 23.
Gifts returned by November 30.
Bagging of all gifts will be done by the Unity Christmas Elves and delivered to social workers on December 8.

How Does The Angel Tree Work?
- Look for the special Christmas tree at Unity with tags on it. Each tag will include the wishlist for a specific child.
- Pick one (or more!) tags.
- Take the tag(s) to the lobby desk and register the tag. This allows our volunteer elves to know who has what gift tag.
- Wrap each present. Write each child’s name on a corner of the present. Attach the Angel tag with one piece of tape.
- Bring wrapped gifts back by November 30th. Collection will be in the Fellowship Hall.
How much is each tag on the Angel Tree?
We have tried to make each Angel tag on the tree represent a child’s specific request. Each Angel tag will be approximately $40. Larger items may involve two Angel tags. Our intention is to provide approximately $150 in gifts or gift cards for each child, which will allow for both “fun items” and basic needs such as coats, winter shoes, clothing, etc.
Can I give money to the Angel Tree project instead of buying gifts?
Yes! This year we are accepting credit cards so if you prefer to make a donation, we will use that money to fulfill the wishes of an Angel on the tree. Any leftover money will be donated to the Wake County Guardian ad Litem program. If you select an Angel tag and the child has requested a gift card, bring that tag to the desk and pay $40 with cash or card, and we will purchase the gift card for you, saving you from the store’s added gift charge.
Important Reminder!
After you select an Angel tag from the tree, please remember to register it with a Christmas Angel Elf (likely at the counter in the lobby) so we can track all the angel tags to make sure all children have gifts by the deadline of Dec. 7, 2025.
What is the Wake County Guardian ad Litem Christmas Angel Project?
The children and teens represented on the Unity of the Triangle Angel Tree are a subset of children who are in the Wake County Guardian ad Litem Christmas Angel project. The program provides gifts for children in the foster care system, including new clothes, toys, and other items to create a sense of normalcy for the children. The project also helps to fund other initiatives, such as educational support and camp grants, to help children thrive throughout the year. The Christmas Angel Tree is one of our annual Unity in the Community service projects.
We are a spiritual community awakening to our Divine nature through love, service, and personal transformation.
