Bringing holiday joy to thousands of needy children during the Christmas season.
The Salvation Army provides hope and Christmas joy to individuals and families in need. Through the Treasures for ChildrenSM program, shoppers become personally involved because they are able to choose a specific individual to help. Shoppers go to stores where TFC tags are located and choose TFC tags (with child's first name, gender and age). Shoppers return the tag with a gift. Any tags that are not taken by shoppers at locations are returned to the warehouse where from donations the children will get toys.
Bikes for Kids Program
The Salvation Army's annual program, "Bikes for Kids", held in conjunction with Kraynick's Bike shop, begins Thursday, November 1st and continues through the month of November. If you have a "gently used" bike for children ages 3 to 12 that no longer is being used, you can donate it to the program to brighten the Christmas holidays for needy youngsters.
Take it to Jerry Kraynick's shop, Kraynick's Bike Shop, at 5003 Penn Ave. in Garfield between 11:30 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. any day except for Wednesday, or from 11:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Saturday.

The Salvation Army is the recepient of these donations, but not the collectors of it.
