PIKE COUNTY, Mo. — The Angel Tree program sponsored by NECAC, the Salvation Army and Bowling Green Walmart is under way. Pictured is NECAC Pike County Service Coordinator Penny Dixon placing tags on the tree. People who shop at Walmart will be able to select a tag and buy gifts listed. NECAC and the Salvation Army will make sure the packages get to families. Angel Tree is open to Pike County, Mo., residents only. Tags do not identify recipients, but do have their ages, genders and gift requests. Clothing and toys are especially needed. All gifts must be new, but shoppers are allowed to substitute age-appropriate items. More information is available by calling Dixon at 573-324-2207.
