Angel Bear

The UCA Staff Senate sponsors the Angel Bear Tree program to provide help with the holidays for UCA and Aramark employees. Employees who meet the criteria can apply to have an Angel for each of their eligible dependents. Angels are adopted by the UCA community and gifts are purchased for them.

Family members that do not share the same house as the employee are not eligible. Only Angels under the age of 18 years old will be selected. Only one application per household. Incomplete applications cannot be processed.

HOW CAN I ADOPT AN ANGEL?

We invite you and/or your department to provide need-based holiday assistance to UCA and Aramark employees by adopting an Angel. Recommended minimum spending amount is $60 per Angel.
Stop by one of the following locations to select an Angel:
  • Wingo Hall Lobby

Once you have selected an Angel, scan the QR code to register your Angel and keep the tag to attach to the gift at drop-off. Each Angel must be registered separately.

Deadline to drop-off gifts: November 30, 2026
All gifts are to be unwrapped with the Angel tag attached to the gift.

Thank you in advance for helping members of the UCA community have a happy holiday season!
