Salvation Army holds annual shopping spree for kids

The Salvation Army held its annual Child Spree event at JCPenny Saturday morning.

This year, 122 kids signed up for the event.

The spree provides each child with a back-to-school clothing budget of $100.

The children we are helping are from low income families and need our assistance for the upcoming school year. You are giving a child confidence and the tools they need to succeed, said Captain David Oh, The SalvationArmy Tucson Area Coordinator.

After the children finished shopping for clothes, each received a brand-new backpack filled with school supplies.
