BELL COUNTY, TX — Over 600 local families, including more than 1,200 kids, will have presents to open on Christmas morning thanks to the Salvation Army and the community's support!

The Salvation Army of Bell County will be distributing gifts to 200 families in Killeen on Saturday, Dec. 14 at 3:30 p.m. It will take place at 3301 East Rancier in Suite 110-A.
