The Salvation Army is hopeful that partners and community members of the St. John's area will respond to this shortage by dropping off food bank items and essential supplies to The Salvation Army Ches Penney Centre of Hope at 18 Springdale St., St. John's.
"It's hard to capture the impact of a donation in words," says Major Jamie Locke, divisional secretary for public relations. "A donation means a parent does not have to give up a meal so their child can eat. It means they do not have to choose between rent or eating that week."
High-demand items needed include but are not limited to proteins (pork, chicken, beef, lentils, chickpeas, tinned fish, etc.), fresh vegetables and fruit, cereal, pasta sauce, noodles, canned soup, vegetables, and fruit.
Join the Army of Givers and give back to your community today by dropping your donations off at The Salvation Army Ches Penney Centre of Hope at 18 Springdale St., St. John's, or by calling 709-739-0290 to give a monetary donation. Every generous contribution gives hope to a family or individual in need.
