This year marks the 19th anniversary of the partnership between the Salvation Army & The Tico Times to offer a wonderful opportunity to make a difference this Christmas for a needy child.
Select a name from the list on this page and purchase a gift for that boy or girl. Gifts are given directly to the children through the Salvation Army.
Imagine a child’s surprise when he or she discovers that wishes do come true – especially at Christmas!
How Do You Sponsor a Child?
1. Choose the name of your child from the list.
2. Call the Salvation Army Monday to Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and identify the child of your choice. If your child is already chosen, you can choose another child. Clothing and shoe sizes for each child are available.
3. Purchase your gift, wrap it, put the name and code of your child on it and bring it to The Tico Times office on Ave. 8, Calle 15, Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5:30 p.m.
4. All gifts must be received by Dec. 10.
