WHEELING — The Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack has made sure that the children served by the Salvation Army Angel Tree program will see plenty of toys this Christmas.

Salvation Army representatives stopped by Wheeling Island on Friday morning to pick up hundreds of toys donated by patrons of the hotel, casino and racetrack. A long sleigh was filled to the brim with games, dolls, stuffed animals and other goodies.

Salvation Army Lt. John Lawrence said those toys would be added to the bags of Angel Tree children who still needed a few more items for a good Christmas. For the last month, Angel Trees have sat in several stores in the Ohio Valley. On them were lists from children in need from infant to teen years, and families would pick one or several lists of the tree and buy items.
