The group distributed toys, clothing, and a local supermarket gift card to adult family members in need so they can surprise their children or grandchildren this Christmas. Also, 962 kids received toys thanks to donations.
“We are so grateful Bucks County individuals, families, businesses and community organizations stepped up to be a blessing to the children,” said Captain Jessica Kelly, local corps officer. “The pandemic has had devastating financial impacts on the people we serve. Children don’t always understand why they have very little under the tree. Thanks to the support we’ve received through our Angel Tree and Adopt A Family programs, we can take that burden off parents who are struggling to make ends meet. Their children will have gifts to open on Christmas morning and food on their table.”
Despite not holding fundraising through The Salvation Army’s iconic red kettles due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the nonprofit was able to continue to provide aid to neighbors.
