With the Christmas season quickly approaching, there are several ways throughout Monroe County people can give back to help worthy causes and make the holiday a little happier for people in need.
Adoption from the Aberdeen City Hall Angel Tree began Nov. 18, and gifts are due back by Dec. 13 at noon. The angel tree is located in the lobby of City Hall. People must register at the city clerk’s office, and gifts can be returned wrapped or unwrapped.
