For some families, the holidays bring uncertainty alongside celebration. For the third consecutive year, Nox Group returned to The Salvation Army’s Christmas Angel Program with a clear goal: help ease the holiday season for local families who are navigating address stress this time of year. What began for us as a race to ensure no Angel Tree tag was unclaimed has grown into a meaningful annual tradition that brings our Nox Group teams together each December to give back and volunteer their time to ensure more children experience the joy of Christmas.
Nox Group’s commitment to fulfilling every first-day Angel Tree tag resulted in the delivery of over 7,000 gifts for approximately 2,700 kids across the Valley.
Showing Up, Together
On December 4th, teammates gathered for a bag-and-tag day at The APEX Wellness and Culture Center, where gifts were purchased, sorted, and prepared with intention in advance by Chief of Staff Krystle Bryan and her team.
The momentum continued on December 5th to deliver all of the bagged toys to The Salvation Army Metro Phoenix warehouse, and extended into December 8th when employees returned for a full volunteer takeover of the warehouse, helping distribute gifts to families and sort donated toys that would be bagged for distribution in the days to follow.
From early morning through the end of the day, more than 180 teammates worked side by side to organize, prepare, and come together to make this Christmas one to remember.
“The work goes beyond logistics. To us, it’s about connection, empathy, and understanding the real impact of our collective efforts”, says Krystle. “This partnership intersects purpose, culture, and action. It’s a place where our values can come to life in the most tangible way.”
A Partnership Rooted in Service
Nox Group’s relationship with The Salvation Army of Metro Phoenix demonstrates a shared dedication to supporting children and families during times of need. Through hands-on volunteerism and significant contributions, this partnership helps reach thousands of families across the Valley each holiday season.
Jeanette Aird, The Salvation Army Phoenix City Administrator, says, “It’s the partnerships that come alongside our mission to serve, and remind families they are not alone. Nox Group brings a willingness to do much of the heavy lifting.”
