Economic downturn continues to affect families in Tulare County | visaliatimesdelta.com | Visalia Times-Delta and Tulare Advance-Register: "Local charitable organizations have seen an influx of families seeking help. Visalia Salvation Army representatives reported serving more than 700 families, a record, for this month's holiday distribution of toys, food and clothing.

'We are seeing more men in line [for assistance], where before it was mostly women,' Capt. Ezekiel Guevara said. 'Many said they were laid off, and that was a sad thing for me to see.'"
