Christmas Assistance
Every year, The Salvation Army partners with our generous community to bring joy to local families by providing free toys and Christmas gifts for children. Our Christmas Assistance Program helps ensure every child experiences the magic of the holiday season, even during times of financial hardship.
If you or someone you know is struggling financially this Christmas, you may be eligible to apply for Salvation Army Christmas Assistance. Please review the details below to learn how to sign up.
Families who meet our financial and residency requirements and have minor children living in the home are welcome to apply. While we do our best to provide age-appropriate gifts for all children, donations for teens ages 13 and older are often limited, so older children may receive fewer items.
