Rain or shine, almost 2,000 East Texas children and 500 seniors were served Friday morning at the Salvation Army Tyler Christmas Distribution Center as families came to pick up gifts.<\/p>\n

A line of vehicles circled the community center, where rows of bicycles and gifts lessened as families arrived for pickup throughout the day. Organized chaos is how Captain Michelle Walker describes it.<\/p>\n
