Angel Tree Toy Drive- West Michigan

In 2025, we distributed 17,000 toys to 4,691 children through our Christmas Assistance program. This was an increase from previous years to help meet the growing need in the community. This year we already know we will need more toys to serve as many or more children than last year. Sign up for assistance or to host an Angel Tree site beginning October 1, 2026. https://www.woodtv.com/news/grand-rapids/salvation-army-facing-toy-shortage-ahead-of-christmas/

The latest issue of Peer highlights Lily Mattson who works at GR Kroc Center and Erin McDonald a soldier a The Salvation Army - Grand Rapids, MI. (Fulton Heights) Salvation Army - Kent County. Both have taken part in ArtPrize, displaying works inspired by faith and spirituality. In 2024, Lily's work symbolized The Salvation Army’s famous slogan, ‘Doing the Most Good.’ She focused specifically on the idea of carrying the cross for our brothers and sisters in Christ and carrying each other’s burdens. And Erin's work in 2025 was inspired by the gestural language from ‘Dance’ by Henri Matisse, and using the Genesis story in the Bible. She wanted a way to explain the idea of ‘The Perichoresis’, a theological term from the Greeks describing the mutual indwelling and interpenetration of the three persons of the Trinity—the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Thank you to all the families that were able to attend and to Girls Choral Academy for your performance. And of course to Santa, Bacca and all the other WOOD-TV staff that helped Major Tim Meyer spread holiday cheer.
