Salvation Army appreciates all who gave help

To the editor:

We wish to thank Westfield Shoppingtown for allowing us to set up the Tree of Lights and for allowing the Tree of Lights kickoff to take place there.

We also wish to thank all the stores that allowed our kettle workers to ring outside their locations; the groups, stores, companies and individuals that donated food items and toys; volunteers for assisting in raising funds by ringing bells; and the groups and individuals who contributed by putting money in the kettles and sending donations.

Without the support of the community, the Salvation Army wouldn't have been able to assist so many families and individuals with Christmas this year.MAJ. MICHAEL THOMAS
