It is our pleasure to assist the most vulnerable in our communities.

We are currently accepting applications for Christmas Food Gift Cards and Christmas Gifts for Children (0-17 years of age).

Due to increased demand and limited resources, eligibility guidelines are now in place to help ensure assistance reaches those with the greatest need.

Who Is Eligible?

The Salvation Army serves communities across the Capital Regional District. The location closest to your home address will be responsible for serving your household. Applicants may be redirected to a different Salvation Army location if another location is better suited to serve their area. Proof of address will be required at pickup.

Applicants are generally eligible if their combined household income (Line 15000 Total Income) falls within the guidelines below.

Household Size	Combined Household Income
1	31,264
2	38,922
3	47,851
4	58,096
5	65,892
6	74,315
7+	82,739

These guidelines are based on Statistics Canada low-income thresholds.

You will be asked to declare your household's combined income during the application process. Proof of income for all household members may be requested before an application is approved.

Households with incomes above these guidelines may still be considered for assistance based on exceptional circumstances. If your household income exceeds the guideline, you will be asked to provide additional information about your current financial situation.

The purpose of this program is to help individuals and families provide a special Christmas meal and gifts for their children. We recognize the many financial pressures households face throughout the year, and it is our hope to help reduce some of that burden during the Christmas season.
