Port Huron and St. Clair County families are facing a tough Christmas, with over 1,200 local kids depending on the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree to get gifts and food this year. You can help right now by grabbing a child’s tag at Birchwood Mall near Target, Walmart in Fort Gratiot, or the Salvation Army office on Court Street. Pick toys, Legos, books, or gift cards, add food like peanut butter, tuna, or stuffing, and drop everything off by December 13th at the mall or Walmart, or by the 15th at the office.
