Readers give Christmas
to families in need
for the 100th year

L to Right, Larissa Ryan, The Freeman’s Journal and Salvation Army representatives Captain Selah Bender, Kyanne Clark and Kenny Clark.

For 100 years now, The Freeman’s Journal has worked with the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree initiative to provide gifts for families less fortunate. This year the newspaper sponsored 13 families, and because of the generosity of our readers, we were able to fill the back of the van with gifts. Many thanks to our readers and our communities, and many thanks to the Salvation Army for doing this event year after year.
