URGENT "LOCKDOWN" APPEAL
Help us to ensure Christmas is not cancelled by Covid! Owing to the current pandemic in-kind donations will be adversely affected this year. We therefore anticipate having to provide many families with vouchers for food / gifts this year. Due to the large numbers of referrals, we therefore need to raise a significant amount to ensure no-one is forgotten this year!
Every Christmas, The Salvation Army in York provides gifts and food to support those in most need. This year, will be no exception!
Last year, through Agency referral, The Salvation Army provided:
• New Toys and gifts to 584 children between the ages of 0 - 18 years
• Additional food to 249 families in York and North Yorkshire
With your help, we can ensure no child or family is forgotten this Christmas.
The Salvation Army is a Christian Church & registered Charity working in 130 countries worldwide and is one of the largest and most diverse providers of social welfare in the world. In the UK and Republic of Ireland this work includes more than 800 Salvation Army social service centres and community churches. We provide unconditional friendship, support and very practical help to people in crisis and need and work with children, homeless people, all adult victims of modern slavery and those dealing with drug and/or alcohol addiction.
