Porterville Recorder

Community can adopt Angels over the phone For those who are concerned about their safety due to the COVID-19 pandemic as far as going out to public stores to do shopping, The Recorder is offering everyone in the community a chance to adopt an Angel over the phone. Those who would like to make a donation so an Angel can be adopted can call The Recorder, 784-5000. Those who would like to donate $10, $20 or more can do so by calling The Recorder. Payments by credit card will... be accepted for the donations. The donations will be used to purchase clothing and toys to provide for a wonderful Christmas for our Angels children are in need throughout the area. The Recorder's third annual Angel Tree program has expanded every year. Last year the Recorder provided for more than 200 children. This year the Recorder is looking to provide for more than 300 children. See more

The third annual Porterville Recorder Angel Tree Drive is underway. The Angels have been placed on the tree in the Recorder's lobby. Each Angel has the first name of a child in our community whose family could use some much needed assistance during the holidays. Each boy or girl Angel will have the age and clothing size of the corresponding child. Those in the community can come by to adopt an Angel or Angels from the tree, thus adopting their Angel or Angels. Then pick up some clothing items and maybe even a toy or two for your Angel, wrap them up in some Christmas wrapping paper or bags and return them to the Recorder office by Friday December 11.
