TYLER — Friday and Saturday, toys and bikes collected from the Angel Tree as well as food boxes were distributed to hundreds of needy families in East Texas at the Community Center, Food Warehouse, and Spence building on Spring Street in Tyler. Since October, the Salvation Army had been making preparations for Christmas by taking applications for the Angel Tree, creating the paper angels, and making arrangements for the Kick Off event which took place November 9th. Since then angels have been available for adoption, and Smith County turned out in great numbers to meet the need of many seniors and children. Once the Angel Tree distribution was complete, preparation began for the Tyler Salvation Army’s 10:30 a.m. Christmas Eve brunch.
