The Salvation Army paired up with CKOM for another year of Adopt a Family, but with some changes due to COVID-19 restrictions. The event aims to connect families wishing to help others with families who might have fallen on unfortunate times, giving them an opportunity to buy a box worth of toys, gifts, and food for someone else. The Salvation Army said this year the giving spirit appeared to have hit more people as boxes of items began flooding in.
