Cleveland Salvation Army Angel Tree Distribution

Cleveland, TN (WDEF) Christmas is still officially a week away, but some of Santa’s helpers gave out toys Thursday in Cleveland.

Volunteers with the Salvation Army distributed toys collected for their angel tree program.

They double checked recipients names with their number to match up the toys that go to each family.

It’s been a very busy holiday season, but the generous donations from the community made the season a little brighter for hundreds of local families in need.

Lisa Porter with the Bradley Co. Salvation Army says, "We worked very closely with the other volunteers and workers from the past and we just made a big team and we got it done."

The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle campaign is still ongoing.

It raises the money for most of their programs throughout the year.
