But first, a bit a about the Salvation Army…
“Just like Santa, The Salvation Army takes
on big challenges.” The gifts they give
to vulnerable people include hot meals, warm place
to sleep, affordable housing, anti-poverty initiatives,
elderly assistance, hospice care and addiction
recovery programs.
Homelessness is not a choice. Salvation Army
Shelter and Emergency Services here in Sudbury
provides support, encouragement, and advocacy
for those in need.
As the largest non-governmental direct provider
of social services in Canada, The Salvation Army
provides unprecedented support to society’s
most vulnerable.
1. Social and community service programs focus
on nurturing the capacities, skills and strengths
of individuals rather than just meeting their
needs.
2. With the public’s generosity, in one
year in Canada:
The Salvation Army provided 6,300 shelter, addictions,
detox and mental health beds for vulnerable men,
women and families in Canada.
The Salvation Army served 2.1 million meals.
The Salvation Army assisted 994,000 persons with
food, clothing or practical assistance
Poverty is an ongoing and deepening problem in
Canada, affecting nearly 3.5 million Canadians
today, 800,000 of them are children. Poverty is
at the root of many of the social service problems
the Salvation Army sees every day – from
homelessness, to substance abuse to families going
without toys, food or even heating at Christmas.
Help make Christmas a possibility for everyone.
