Imagine
a child waking up
on Christmas morning
with no brightly
wrapped packages
to open. No smiling
faces and peals of
laughter will be
heard at the house.
You can bring a smile
to a child’s
face by helping The
Salvation Army this
Christmas. Families
who cannot afford
toys for their children
come to The Salvation
Army to receive gifts
through our Toy ‘n’ Joy
program.
Volunteers
are needed to welcome
low-income families
and
sign them up
to receive toys
for their children
and
a holiday meal
this Christmas.
Volunteers
will welcome families
from
diverse and
ethnic
back
grounds, receive
necessary
documentation
and
determine eligibility
for Christmas
services. Intake will take place November 16-20 and December 7-11 from 9:45 a.m. to 3 p.m. at both the White Center and Pike Street Salvation Army offices. Please contact Lyndsay Buttenob at lynsay.buttenob@usw.salvationarmy.org to volunteer or click
here to sign up online.
At
your office, church
or anyplace there is
a Christmas tree, The
Salvation Army will
send you Christmas tags.
Each tag represents
a child and includes
a gift suggestion.
Just before Christmas,
The Salvation Army
will arrange to pick
up the toys and parents
will have the opportunity
to shop for gifts for
their children
at our Toy ‘n’ Joy
Distribution at Qwest
Field. Please
call Brandie Sargent
at (206) 767-3150
extension
#110 to sign up. MAP

We need 100 volunteers for two (am/pm) shifts each day, for a total of nearly 400 volunteers. To

Families
experiencing particularly
difficult circumstances
are available to be adopted.
In our Adopt-A-Family
program, donors provide
gifts for all family
members and food for
a Christmas dinner. Many
families of all sizes
are available for adoption
and sponsors will be
matched with a family
based on the designated
support level and family
needs. Please call Kathy
Sargent at (206) 767-3150
extension #103 or (206)
409-7611 to be matched
with a family.
Ring
a bell to help us raise
the
funds necessary to finance
our social service
programs. To
sign up to ring bells, please contact your local Salvation Army.
