The Central Pacific Bank is encouraging the public to bring joy to thousands of keiki and seniors in need across Hawaiʻi this holiday season by donating to its Angel Tree giving campaign.

Angel Trees are Christmas trees decorated with paper angel tag ornaments that list the gift request of a keiki or senior in need.

Donors can select one or more tags and purchase appropriate gifts for the keiki or seniors described on the tags.

Trees will be available in all CPB branches, with gifts collected through Dec. 13 and monetary donations accepted through Dec. 31.

“The CPB Angel Tree giving campaign is a wonderful way for people to share in the giving spirit of the holidays by helping others in our community,” CPB president Catherine Ngo said in a press release.

“In addition to opening our branch network for donations, CPB is proud to have partnered with the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree for 10 years, engaging employees bank-wide in a multitude of volunteer opportunities throughout the season.”

Last year, the Angel Tree program collected more than $200,000 in monetary and gift donations, and $1.3 million over the past nine years.
