Hundreds of toys and thousands of dollars were donated on Friday for the Toys for Tots program at Steve Hahn VW, KIA, Mercedes Benz at 1730 South 1st Street

Each year during the holidays the Yakima Salvation Army raises needed funding through its Red Kettle Campaign.

Every year the Marines partner with the Yakima Salvation Army to collect the distribute the toys for kids up to 18-years-old.

But things are returning to normal this year and the Salvation Army is hoping for your support this holiday season.

Lisa Sargent, Community Relations & Outreach Program Manager says on Monday a special team from Yakima traveled to the impact area to help families.

The U.S. Marines and the Salvation Army in Yakima are hoping you'll go shopping for a new toy this year to donate to the Marines Toys For Tots program.

In a post on their official Facebook page earlier today, the Salvation Army food bank in downtown Yakima announced that it will be giving away free chicken for anyone that wants to come pick it up.

A series of events are planned this week. Don't miss our conversation with officials from the Salvation Army on Tuesday at 7:45 a.m. on KIT.

If you'd like to be involved and go shopping or would like to sponsor a child call the Salvation Army at 823-1813.
