PORTLAND (WGME) – CBS13’s Joy of Sharing campaign is underway.
- Also read: Joy of Sharing
Thursday, a Salvation Army truck stopped by the station to collect donations.
They will then help distribute the gifts to families in time for Christmas.
For everyone involved, it's a labor of love.
"It's a way to bring the community together. I'm a relatively new resident, and to see this interaction with you guys, and the whole town, it just makes Christmas so much more real and joyful and bright," Salvation Army Major Donald Spencer said.
Even if you missed Thursday's event, we are still collecting new, unwrapped toys to give to Maine children in need.
Our Joy of Sharing campaign runs through December 12.
There are a number of drop off locations across the state, including your local Paris Farmers Union and O’Connor Auto Park in Augusta.
As always, we’ll be collecting at our station, too.
