Horry Salvation Army distributes hundreds of toys

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) — The Salvation Army is out to spread some Christmas cheer in Horry County.

Workers will be out all day on Friday delivering toys to hundreds of needy children in the county.

More than 1,200 toys from the organization’s Angel Tree program are being distributed during an eight-hour period.

Salvation Army director of social services Brenda Ryan said the organization at first did not think it would have enough toys, but now says it has one for every child who needs assistance.
