Thanks to their generosity, the Salvation Army of Grayson County can ensure more local families don’t have to worry whether they have enough food to feed their children in 2019. I can’t thank our on air & sales teams, the Skaggs family or our sponsors enough for all the time and effort they put into making the 22nd Annual Bob Skaggs Memorial Food Drive such a rousing success.”
