A 94-year old bottle of energy at the Salvation Army

Fifty volunteers descended on Salvation Army of York Wednesday to fill 2,000 boxes to be sure York's most needy families have a Christmas dinner. Among the volunteers was Ruth Schrom, a vibrant 94-year old woman with more energy than people half her age. Ruth was one of a group of AARP volunteers and retired teachers who will be at it again Thursday to finish the job. Students from the Christian School of York joined the fun, and their job was to break down the truck load of cardboard boxes.  The food that fills these boxes is not donated, but purchased with the loose change you drop into the Salvation Army kettles. The number families asking for the boxes is up, so officials are hoping for more donations this year.
