The Salvation Army of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, has commenced its annual Angel Tree registration, aiming to provide Christmas gifts to eligible children and seniors. The registration period began on Monday and will continue until Thursday. Parents are required to register in person, while seniors can register by calling the Salvation Army directly.
