This holiday season, Ingalls shipbuilders are once again coming together to support children and families across the Gulf Coast. Through the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree program, the Gulf Coast Center for Nonviolence, our annual Toy Drive, and a variety of volunteer opportunities, we continue a meaningful tradition of giving back to neighbors who need it most.
What We’re Supporting and Why It Matters
The holidays can be a challenging time for many families in our community. The Angel Tree and GCCFN Angel initiatives help bring warmth and hope to children who may otherwise go without essentials or gifts. Likewise, our annual Toy Drive ensures local children find joy during the holiday – something every little one deserves.
Your generosity directly supports neighbors facing hardship and reminds families across the Gulf Coast that their community is here for them.
If you are interested in adopting an Angel or contributing through your department, email CommunityRelations@hii.com and we will connect you with your department’s Angel Ambassador.
How to Take Part
