MEDFORD, Ore -- The Salvation Army of Jackson County and Jackson County Toys for Tots announced that their toy distribution programs will be joining forces this year.
Donors wishing to provide Christmas to a child in need can go HERE to select a family or can visit over 200 locations across Jackson County to select tag of a child in need. Toys to be donated can be placed in any Salvation Army or Toys for Tots collection box.
In lieu of a toy, funds can be donated to The Salvation Army or Jackson County Toys for Tots. All funds and toys collected will stay in Jackson County.
Registration will open on October 12th online at www.saangeltree.org. In person applications will be available for registration November 3rd- 6th at The Salvation Army, 304 Beatty St, Medford OR 97501. Bilingual volunteers will be available to assist.
Due to the coronavirus and Almeda Fire devastation, families who might not normally apply to receive toys are highly encouraged to register.
Jackson County Toys for Tots Coordinator, Kira Zavala says, “The Salvation Army is a wonderful organization. We have supported each other throughout the years and have talked about partnering for several years, this partnership will allow us to bring together all of our resources and support more children and families to ensure they have Christmas this year.”
The Salvation Army Jackson County Christmas Assistance Coordinator, Major Angelina Koenig, says, “In Light of the tragedies of CVOID_19, the Almeda/Obenchain fires, and social distancing, our community families and children need a special Christmas which makes our partnership with Toys for Tots much more vital in 2020.”
