The Salvation Army in Canada

Today, The Salvation Army in Canada is launching a Christmas fundraising campaign we’re calling “Impossible Choices”. The campaign shows a world filled with impossible choices—a reality for many living in poverty—and how these choices can change the way they see the world around them. Canadians from coast to coast are having to face impossible choices like whether to pay for housing or put food on the table for their families. People who thought they’d never need help are struggling today because of the different crises we are facing as a society. They come from every walk of life, every small town and every big city across our nation. There are more children, seniors, students, and people with employment accessing our services than ever before. When someone living in poverty is faced with an impossible choice, your donation is their answer. Donate today - https://bit.ly/4fUSpgH

Throughout both world wars, The Salvation Army provided essential aid and comfort to soldiers far away from their loved ones. The Salvation Army’s Canadian War Services stationed personnel near the front lines to bring food, drinks, and spiritual support to Canadian soldiers and other troops. This aid not only helped them with daily essentials, but it also reminded Canadian soldiers of home. https://bit.ly/48NitIk

As part of a Thanksgiving tradition, The Salvation Army in Yellowknife partnered with a local grocery store to give food bank clients a little extra during their next visit. The tradition of giving hampers right after Thanksgiving is meant to help clients get through the early weeks of the tough northern winters when heating costs rise. The hampers are intended to supplement the regular food bank packages.

The Salvation Army food bank in Kenora, Ont., is vital in helping residents who struggle with the rising cost of living. To maintain their excellent service, the food bank is seeking support from the community. “We usually have nine clients per day, which could mean we provide food for 100 people a week,” says Community Ministries Director Stuart Walter. https://bit.ly/3Yfx5ev
