The Salvation Army is asking Ealing residents to donate toys to its Christmas Present Appeal to support families struggling at this time of the year.
Each year, the Salvation Army asks people donate new toys and gifts for children and last year Greenford Salvation Army gave out over 200 gifts to those in need.
Salvation Army church leader at Greenford, Envoy Kath Davison said: “The Salvation Army’s present appeal is an opportunity for people in our communities to embrace the spirit of Christmas and give to families and individuals who have very little.”
Ms Davison added: “We are incredibly grateful for the public’s generosity over the years and hope this year our appeal will be able to bring some respite to those who are struggling the most.
“Christmas is a time when financial worries are brought into sharp focus as the cost-of-living crisis continues to have a devastating impact on families who can’t afford to heat their homes or put a nutritious meal on the table. Helping parents provide a gift for their child not only eases financial pressures but helps bring the joy of Christmas into their homes.”
Ealing residents can drop off their presents at Greenford Salvation Army, Costons Lane, Greenford UB6 8QT between 1 December 2024 and 22 December 2024.
