\n\tAcross the country, The Salvation Army aims to ensure no one goes hungry this holiday season. Throughout the course of October, Salvation Army locations will be providing nutritious supplies from our food banks, and at select locations, serving a warm Thanksgiving dinner to those in need.\n<\/p>\n

\n\t“Whether it’s seniors on a fixed income, low-income earners, or those experiencing homelessness, The Salvation Army makes every effort to help people enjoy the spirit and tradition of Thanksgiving,” says Major Les Marshall, Major and Area Commander for The Salvation Army.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tTo support the efforts of The Salvation Army this holiday season, please consider donating non-perishable food items to your local food bank, or online at salvationarmy.ca. \n<\/p>\n
