The Salvation Army is still needing toys and food donations for its annual holiday giveaway, now just days away.

I know most everyone is struggling in this economy, but always remember that there is someone who is probably worse off, and some of them are right here in San Diego County.

Toys are still needed for:

• boys, newborn to age 2
• boys, age 9 to 12
• girls, newborn to age 2
• girls, age 6 to 8
• girls, age 9 to 12

Specific types of food still needed include:

• grains/rice/pasta
• soup
• canned fruits
• canned vegetables
• cereal/oatmeal
• canned tuna and chicken
• peanut butter

Toys will be distributed to 1,400 children and food boxes to 350 families throughout the County. Donations can be dropped off at the Kroc Salvation Army Center, 6845 University Avenue, in east San Diego. For more information, call 619-287-5762.

We're all in this together, so please donate. Every little bit helps!
