The Salvation Army in Preston needs your help - All year round we help families in Preston and the surrounding areas who are in need. This help ranges from food parcels to clothing and bedding. At Christmas, just like any other family in the country, families living below the poverty line would love to have Christmas presents to open on Christmas day or enough food to prepare a good Christmas dinner. We provide those presents at the request of social workers, teachers, health visitors etc so that we know the gifts are going to the people who are in real need.
We are aware that, in these difficult economic times, some people may be struggling to get enough together for Christmas so this year, more than ever, we are asking members of the public to give a gift and light up a life. Unfortunately, every year there are thousands of families across the country who struggle at Christmas and we do expect an increased need this year.
This year The Salvation Army has also joined forces with the health & beauty retailer Superdrug which has over 910 stores and will act as an official retail drop off zone in all its stores across the UK.We are so grateful that Superdrug are opening up their stores as collection points and we hope that with their help and the generosity of the general public we will be able to light up the lives of many people this Christmas.
In order to meet those needs, we are asking people in our area to donate gifts that will help us meet all the needs of our community this Christmas. You can drop them off at your local Superdrug store or bring them direct to us.
We will be collecting gifts from Monday 17th November to Friday 19th December. Please arrange to deliver them to our centre in Harrington Street which is normally open between 9am – 4.30pm Monday – Friday. If you cannot deliver your gifts within these times please contact us on 01772 555425 to make alternative arrangements.
