    CJME Santas Anonymous officially launched at the Salvation Army in Regina on Monday. It’s the 42nd straight year Rawlco Radio and the Salvation Army are helping kids in need at Christmas. Dozens of barrels can be found at shopping malls and businesses all over the city. The program collects toy donations for less fortunate kids. The Salvation Army’s Val Wiks says the need continues to grow. “Even as more people are working, we see less people on assistance coming for help now than we do people that have a job because there’s just the expenses. Housing is so much. Power is so much,” said Wiks. Families can register by visiting the Salvation Army. In all 1,800 families received help last year. Residents can donate new, unwrapped presents for children aged 0-12 between Nov. 14 and Dec. 13. The presents will then be wrapped at the Regina and District Food Bank on Dec. 17 and donated to families in need.
