The Salvation Army believes that human dignity is a fundamental right for all people. This year’s annual Christmas campaign is aimed at raising money to support dozens of social service programs that work to restore hope and dignity for vulnerable individuals during the Christmas season and throughout the year.

Approximately 3 million Canadians, or one in 11 people, live in poverty today. When you give to The Salvation Army this Christmas season, you are investing in the lives of those who struggle to access everyday needs like food, clothing and shelter. With your help, dignity is within reach.

The Christmas campaign helps The Salvation Army provide direct, compassionate, hands-on service to more than 1.6 million people in Canada each year. Says Commissioner William W. Francis, Territorial Commander of The Salvation Army in Canada and Bermuda: “With 15 to 20 percent of our annual fundraising revenue collected during the Christmas season and demand for our services at an all time high in some areas, we are really asking the public to dig deep.”
