Salvation Army Christmas Assistance

We thank all those who have donated toys and volunteered their time in the past for helping to make many children’s lives better, and we encourage them to do so again this holiday season.

November and December are particularly busy months for the charity, with extra sales and donations, and there is a need for extra help. This year, 150 more people will walk through these doors. “We’re also looking for sports equipment”, said Danielson. “That’s our budgeted amount that we need in order to provide all of our social services for the year”.

All year Caloundra Lions and Lioness members have been collecting tin food to donate to the appeal this year, along with their infamous Christmas cakes.

Roberts says he mostly deals with the working poor; those who are just barely making ends meet.

The Salvation Army is stepping forward to offer assistance to Alcoa employees and their families following Monday’s news that 487 jobs would be lost at the company’s Massena operation.

The Salvation Army expects to feed between 70 to 80 families in Shasta County this Thanksgiving and plans to pass out almost 500 food boxes and toys for Christmas. We want to let them know we’re here to help. “To keep pace with the needs of area families we must rely on generous people in our community to open their hearts with a donation to help their neighbors this Christmas season”.
