JOHNSON CITY – The Salvation Army of Johnson City has kicked off its annual Angel Tree adoption program, with an Angel Tree set up at the Johnson City Mall. The organization is calling on businesses, groups, places of worship, and individuals to adopt children and provide Christmas gifts for them this holiday season.
