The Salvation Army Is Already Running Low on Toys and Christmas Is Still Months Away
NBC is reporting that the Salvation Army is facing a toy shortage heading into the holiday season — and no, that’s not a typo. We’re talking about RIGHT NOW.
Here’s the deal: they actually served MORE families last year, which is genuinely wonderful. The not-so-wonderful part? That means the toy supply is basically running on fumes heading into this Christmas season.
What They Need — And When
Starting this weekend, the Salvation Army is officially asking for toy donations for kids up to age 12. Got a wish list situation? Head to their website and shop straight from it. Almost like Amazon, but way more heartwarming and significantly less impulse buying.
Why This Matters, Denver
We know you’ve got good hearts out here. If you’ve got a pre-teen at home like me, you KNOW how much that gift moment means to a kid. Let’s make sure every child in our community gets that feeling this December.
Don’t wait until December when you’re already drowning in holiday chaos. Do it now while you still have your sanity intact.
Visit the Salvation Army’s website for the full wish list.
