Salvation Army Needs Christmas Help For Hundreds Of Children
December 9, 2009
Hundreds of needy children have not been adopted for Christmas. The Salvation Army in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties is seeking people to adopt a child or family for the Christmas season.
“Instead of buying a gift for someone who has everything, adopt an angel in their honor.” said Yvonne Warthen Christmas coordinator.
People interested in providing support to a struggling family through the program have until Thursday, December 10, to sign up. They can do so by calling (850) 432-1501 ext. 13 or emailing escarosa@uss.salvationarmy.org. Callers should denote the sex and number of children or the size of the family they want to sponsor.
Salvation Army staff will provide the sponsors with their recipient family’s gift request list. The families’ identities will remain confidential, though sponsors will know the ages and genders of its family members.
The large number of unmatched children and families results from the economic downturn and a declining supply of jobs, said Warthen.
