Generosity Undoes Thieves' Damage As Donations Roll Into Yuba City Salvation Army
YUBA CITY (CBS13) — Donations are pouring in to the Yuba City Salvation Army after thieves stole Christmas from dozens of needy families.

"We were able to get the word out to the community, we rescheduled the families to come in today and tomorrow, and we spent all weekend buying some new toys and gifts for them," he said.
