Today and tomorrow are distribution days for volunteers working through the Salvation Army to deliver Christmas toys to area children. Pictured here in front of just one table of donated toys are Advisory Board member Ginger Houston (left) and Salvation Army Anacortes Corps Captain Beth Paugh. “Angel Tree” toys will be distributed today, with general distribution scheduled to take place tomorrow. Needless to say, the Salvation Army on “R” Avenue is a very busy place. In addition to toys, Christmas donations include family food baskets. The list of Christmas helpers is long, from food bank and toy distribution volunteers to service club members, firefighters … even U.S. Marines (Toys for Tots). Salvation Army officers Beth and Mike extend thanks and blessings to all who have contributed so generously to making this holiday season a bit brighter for their neighbors in need.
