The WGTS team pauses for a picture with a listening family.

Story by Jerry Woods

This year in Washington D.C. there were 13,000 kids who probably wouldn’t have gotten anything for Chrismas.  Their parents signed up with the Salvation Army to get some assistance.  The Salvation Army’s goal was to provide toys and gifts for those children, and they enlisted WGTS 91.9 to help. 

WGTS 91.9 held a live remote with Johnny and Stacey from the afternoon show to invite people to Potomac Mills Mall to buy and bring toys for the Salvation Army Angel Tree kids.   Listeners brought hundreds of toys and many also selected gift tags off of the Angel Tree to shop for a specific child’s wish list.
