Angel Tree in Support of Nelson House
Help Make the Holidays Brighter
Beginning November 5 through December 18, Merivale Mall is proud to host the Angel Tree in support of Nelson House of Ottawa Carleton, an emergency shelter for women and children fleeing abuse.
The Angel Tree program gives our community the opportunity to support local families during the holiday season by helping provide gifts and essential items to those in need. Nelson House helps families transition to lives free from violence by providing basic necessities and support services, including housing and legal assistance.
How It Works
- Visit the Angel Tree located next to Marshalls at Merivale Mall.
- Choose one or more angels from the tree.
- Purchase the item(s) listed on the angel tag.
- Return the new, unwrapped item along with the corresponding angel tag to the tree location
We also appreciate donations of wrapping supplies such as gift bags, wrapping paper, tissue paper, and bows.
Event Details
- November 5 – December 18
- Angel Tree located next to Marshalls
- New, unwrapped gifts and donation items accepted throughout the campaign
Together, we can help bring comfort, joy, and holiday magic to local families this season.
