GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Christmas is coming early for some Green Bay area parents. The Salvation Army of the Greater Green Bay starts its Christmas Distribution Toy Shop today at the old Shopko just off East Mason Street..
The Salvation Army plans to serve around 1,800 pre-registered families, helping about 5,000 kids with the 3-day event.
Parents will be partnered with a volunteer shopper to pick out gifts for their kids.
There are thousands of donated gifts from parents and guardians to choose from. Every family also gets a food box and a game to play as a family.
The Salvation Army says the event is serving 800 more kids in 2022 than in 2021.
More than 700 volunteers dedicate their time to the Christmas Distribution Toy Shop. The organization says it’s looking for more bell ringers for its Red Kettle Campaign.
The yearly holiday campaign helps support year-round efforts.
