The Salvation Army Church and Community Centre in Hythe and Romney Marsh is reaching out to the local community for its support, to help us support others, at Christmas 2021. Each Christmas we provide toys and gifts to local families in need, meals and company to those who would be on their own and food to those who are struggling to make ends meet. In addition, we seek to play an important part in the life of our community all year round through our foodbank, toddler groups, parenting courses, youth group and drop in centre. 

All financial support offered this Christmastime will be put to good use in our local community. 

If your monetary donation is for anything specific, such as Christmas lunch or food parcels,  please do let us know in the comments.
