Salvation Army

Alright, Calgary, it’s time to loosen up your grip on those holiday funds and show everyone just how great we are. The Salvation Army has been enduring a pretty slow season of gift donations, so let’s get out there and get charitable!

As of last week, the Salvation Army had only reached totals of about 18,000 gift donations, which is far below the 40,000 that they usually require.

People have until Saturday, December 15 to donate new, unwrapped toys at designated bins around the city. So chop, chop people!

Happy holidays!
