Christmas Assistance 2024
Owen SoundChristmas Assistance 2024
Christmas can be the most wonderful time of the year as we celebrate the birth of the Christ Child with family, friends, food and gift giving. But Christmas can also be a difficult time of the year, if you find yourself alone or unable to afford all the extras the Christmas season includes.
Through the generous support of many individuals, businesses, and community groups, The Salvation Army is able to help provide some Christmas assistance.
To receive Christmas assistance, individuals and families need to complete an approved Christmas application. Please stop by Community Services (the Food Bank) at 365 14th St. West (back of the building, far left door) to complete your Christmas Assistance Application.
The Christmas Assistance applications dates for 2024 are as follows:
Tuesday November 12th from 9:00 am – 11:30 am
Tuesday November 26th from 9:00 am – 11:30 am
**Applicants will need to supply identification for each member of the household when they apply**
Applicants have the option to provide their source of income & cost of rent or housing expenses for statistical purposes.
