The Salvation Army works in partnership with the Christmas Bureau of Edmonton to support families in need during the holiday season.
This program, and partnership with the Christmas Bureau is intended to provide support to families, individuals and seniors in need. Our program is not intended to be a doubling up or topping up of Christmas services already provide. Our programs are funded through community donations and are not governed by or an extension of any government programs.
Our objective, mirrors the Christmas Bureau's, "to be able to assist ten families once, rather than one family ten times".
To book an in person appointment with The Salvation Army Edmonton Temple, please call the office (780-469-6846). Appointments will be booked between November 12-December 5.
All Christmas Assistance packages must be picked up at our location (9115 75 ST NW Edmonton).
