The Salvation Army distributed toys, food to those in need this Christmas
One in eight Canadian households struggle to put food on the table. During Christmastime those in need have difficulty purchasing basic necessities, let alone adding the stress of buying a Christmas gift for their children.
To ease some of this stress, The Salvation Army distributed Christmas hampers and toys to help make Christmas brighter for those in need.
After receiving a Walmart gift card Patricia shared that she was excited to go buy clothes for her teenage daughter. “My daughter needs new clothes, but without this help I wouldn’t be able to afford them.”
In the Halifax area last year 2,500 people received Christmas hampers and 4,600 toys were distributed.
Thank you to everyone who helped make Christmas happy for those in need.
