The Rockwell Police Department is once again doing the Tree of Angels, a heartfelt community effort to bring joy to children in need this Christmas season. Our tree holds about 90 angels, each representing a child from the local school district who could use a little extra holiday cheer. Every angel includes a child’s Christmas wishes, and we invite you to stop by the police department lobby to choose one or more from our sign-out sheet. Your generosity can help make sure every child experiences the magic of Christmas morning. Together, we can make a difference and bring hope, happiness, and holiday spirit to our community’s children. Angels need to be turned in by December 8, 2025.

🎄Tis the Season Of Giving🎄

We are continuing our Angel Tree this year. We have partnered with the Yancey County SO to help families around the Burnsville area that were devastated by Hurricane Helene. We also are helping families in this area. We have distributed forms to local schools that have direct contact with children in need. Angels 1-20 on the tree are children from Western NC. Any numbers after that will be Children from this area. Please have any Western NC childrens gifts back to the Rockwell Police Department by December 13th so that we can get these items Delivered. The Local Families if you could please have those gifts returned by December 19th.

We here at the Rockwell Police Department wish everybody a safe and great Holiday Season.

As you know, Rockwell Police Department is conducting an Angel Tree for the Holidays and have all our angels ready on our tree. Each angel is a child in need of a Christmas gift. We have 51 angels this year, so all the support we can get is appreciated. If you would like to participate this year you may come pick out an angel from the tree. The angel(s) you select must be wrapped or placed in gift bags and returned to the Rockwell Police Department by December 18th with the angel(s) attached to the gifts. Also, we will accept monetary donations and gift cards and our employees will purchase the items for the angel(s). Come by and help give an angel their Christmas wish!
