Christmas Assistance

I just got word that the Salvation Army and Toys for Tots are accepting applications for their Christmas assistance programs in the next three weeks. I know this does not apply to everyone, but I wanted to spread the news so that those who need help with Christmas won't miss the application dates. (I know it is hard to think about Christmas when it is still 90 degrees outside! :)) The exact dates for applying are:

For the Salvation Army program:

Sept 20-24 and Sept 27-Oct 1

Monday - Friday 9:00am - 1:00pm

also Tuesdays 5:30pm - 7:00pm

For the Toys for Tots program:

Oct 4-8

9:00am - 1:00pm

Apply for either assistance program at The Salvation Army, 1035 29th Street. You'll need to bring picture IDs for all adults in your household, social security cards for everyone in your household, birth certificates for all children younger than 15, verification of all household income, your food stamp print out (if you receive them), and proof of residence. (If you are 60 years or older, all items are required except the birth certificates.) For more information, call the programs at 205-758-2804.
