Good evening, Salem.

If you’re in the mood for some extra holiday shopping, Polk County is still looking for people to adopt a family in need for its holiday assistance program.

Donors can indicate how many children they want to support and will be matched with a family with childrens’ wish lists. Donors typically spend about $50 per child.

Gifts can be dropped off at the Polk County Fairgrounds on Monday, Dec. 18.

If you’re interested, fill out the form here to be matched with a family or donate in another way. 

Here are some of today’s stories. You can always find our latest reports anytime on our website.
