The Salvation Army spent Friday preparing to distribute Angel Tree gifts.
Dozens of volunteers sorted through tens of thousands of gifts donated through the program to make sure that 58,000 children and seniors across the Metroplex will wake up with a present under the tree Christmas morning.
In the warehouses, storing the gifts there are thousands of boxes that each represent a family.
Karen Bilbrey, who is coordinating the massive operation in Fort Worth, expects 60 families every 20 minutes to pick up gifts Saturday.
Many of them are experiencing hardships in life.
"They never expected to have to do this, so these are the ones that you really feel for," Bilbrey said.
One volunteer, Vicki Stanley, says that after seven years of working with the Angel Tree project -- delegation is the key to getting it all done.
"You have one section, one piece, one job," Stanley said. "You do your portion, and then everybody helps the job gets done."
A job which, at the end of day, means happy children on Christmas morning.
While so many were so generous, not everyone who decided to participate in the program has followed through.
Participants can still take their Angel Tree's unwrapped gifts to one of two Salvation Army Christmas centers.
The Dallas center is located at 9216 Harry Hines Blvd., and the Fort Worth center is at 229 East Felix St.
