North Dakota is the neediest state in America. At least that's what the most recent update to the Human Needs Index shows according to a press release put together by the Salvation Army and the Lilly Family School of Philanthropy.
Collections are underway for the 2015 Christmas Playpen with the Salvation Army. Christmas Playpen is a program where gently used toys and bicycles are collected and then repaired by prison inmates and given to the Salvation Army for children in need.
