They will be delivering food baskets and toys to needy families on Christmas Eve.

Organizer Bob Little says they have an army of volunteers to make this happen.

"We have 280 families that we are delivering both food and gifts to.  Some of the food is also going to military famiies.  There's about 24 military families.  We got their names from people at the Armory."

More than 75 volunteers will be delivering these baskets and presents to families in Madras, Prineville, LaPine, Bend and Redmond Tuesday morning.

The Elks get their list of those to help from the Salvation Army.
