"After reading about the Salvation Army's overwhelming need for toys and how donations have been considerably down this year, I knew I had to help.  I'm proud and hopeful that I can make a difference for the kids in my community, by ensuring they wake up on Christmas morning with a gift under the tree," said Jason Hope.
