“The Salvation Army needs Spanish speakers to help spread holiday cheer.

On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the Salvation Army will distribute gifts at its South Congress Avenue warehouse to 4,600 local families: 3,600 through its Christmas assistance program, another 1,000 through Toys for Tots.

Of those families, about 90 percent speak only Spanish, said Raul Munoz, the Salvation Armys community development director.”
