It’s that time of the year again, when the weather turns chillier and every man, women and children are waiting for the first snowflake to drop. It is the time when the beautiful sound of The Salvation Army bell is ringing to bring home the cheer of the Holiday Season.
This year, a global pandemic struck and stole Christmas from many families in our communities. The Salvation Army is asking you to help RESCUE CHRISTMAS. With the pandemic making our effort to ring the bell of hope more difficult than ever, we ask that you are encouraged to donate via our many avenues. Text XMAS20 to 71777 or visit: tinyurl.com/Yonkers20 to donate. Also, you can write a check to: The Salvation Army of Yonkers, address 110 New Main Street, Yonkers NY 10701
The Salvation Army has been helping our communities throughout the pandemic. From the beginning of the pandemic the Salvation Army of Yonkers remained opened and has served over 80,000 bags of pantry to many of our residents and provide over 100 vouchers for clothes and or furniture. The Salvation Army also helped many of our frontline workers at both St. John’s Riverside Hospital and St. Joseph’s Hospital. The Salvation Army’s main mission in our community is to continue to meet human needs.
The coronavirus pandemic may force our town to quarantine and stay inside and mask up; the need to feed our community, the need to cloth and furnish our community and the need to bring holiday cheers via our toys programs can not be quarantine. Please we are asking that you please help us #RescueChristmas.
If you need more information on how to donate please contact Lieutenant Neekenson Fils-Aime at (914) 963-1222 or email at neekenson.fils-aime@use.salvationarmy.org
Last Chance to Apply for Toys: The Salvation Army is reminding the community that the toy’s registration is this coming Friday November 20, 2020. Please come and request an application. This is for parents who need help with provding their children with a Christmas toy this season.
Also this week, The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign will continue for another season. Every year, the sight and sound of the bells are part of the Christmas experience, an opportunity to give back during the hustle and bustle of holiday preparations, and this year will be no different.
