Since its very beginning The Salvation Army has attempted to meet the needs of those whose situation is less than fortunate through no fault of their own. To perform this function in a local environment the ‘Army’ relies heavily on the generosity of local benefactors and others willing to give time energy and substance towards the work which we seek to do.
Food Parcels
Throughout the year and especially at Christmas time The Salvation Army in Morriston provides food parcels to those in extreme need.
Christmas
Christmas is a special time in all families. However, it is beyond the means of some families to even think about it being ‘special’. It is almost impossible, for some, to cope with everyday needs let alone provide the extras that go with this holiday time. Each year The Salvation Army collects toys and other supplies at its annual carol concerts and from other sources such as front line businesses which sometimes run special schemes to help. These goods are distributed to families in our area for whom Christmas would otherwise be hard to cope with. Names are provided to us by various groups such as Social Services, Doctors, Health Visitors and Probation Officers as well as, sometimes, caring neighbours. We are also able to provide special help with provisions and we know how much this can mean to people. The task of distribution is onerous and volunteer drivers would be appreciated as well as those prepared to give up a few hours to help assemble the packages.
