THE ANGEL PROGRAM IS SUPPORTED IN PART BY THE COMMUNITY. BACK TO BASICS DEPENDS ON THE GENEROSITY OF CHURCHES, CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, BUSINESSES, AND INDIVIDUALS IN OUR COMMUNITY TO ADOPT CHILDREN EACH YEAR TO PROVIDE THESE GIFTS. THIS YEAR 5,587 CHILDREN WERE ADOPTED BY THE COMMUNITY, WHO SHOPPED FOR, WRAPPED AND RETURNED THE GIFTS TO OUR WAREHOUSE. BACK TO BASICS PROVIDED THE GIFTS IN-HOUSE FOR THE REMAINING 4,628 CHILDREN.
