Earlier this week, the Salvation Army Yakima posted on its social media the need for socks and other items to help those affected by the recent fires.

"Families in the Lower Valley who lost everything in the fires are in great need of socks – all sizes are needed! Every donation, big or small, can make a difference for a family who has lost so much.”
