Each year, Long & Foster’s Ellicott City Office adopts children in Howard County that are part of the Salvation Army Angel Tree Program. Monetary donations can be made through noon on Thursday, Dec. 11.

“This year, our office has adopted 30 children, all younger than 7 years old,” Brian Lipsky said. “For lots of children in Howard County, the gifts they receive through the Angel Tree program will be the only ones they open on Christmas Day. Our agents believe every child deserves a memorable Christmas.”

If you would like to help a child in need this Christmas it is not too late to contribute. You can make an online donation here by visiting https://donate.salvationarmyusa.org/ncv/sslpage.aspx?pid=14448.
