Salvation Army brings holiday cheer to Seaforth
The Salvation Army was in
Seaforth spreading a little sun-
shine on the evening of Dec. 2,
at both the Seaforth hospital
and Seaforth Manor.
The Salvation Army band
and carolers provided some
beautiful Christmas music as
they distributed 'Christmas
Sunshine Bags' to patients at
the hospital and residents at
the manor.
The Christmas Sunshine
Bag ministry, based out of The
Salvation Army in Goderich
has been happening for
decades.
Lieutenant David Hickman
says, "this is the highlight of
the year for our church family;
the whole congregation gets
involved from the young to the
old."
This year's 'Sunshine Bags'
included a magnifying card,
hand lotion, lip balm,
Kleenex, pair of winter mitts,
book mark and a couple of
special Christmas magazines.
The Salvation Army hold's a
soup and sandwich fundraiser
to help purchase the items in
the 'Sunshine Bags,' and vol-
unteers help come and pack
close to 750 bags for distribu-
tion in Goderich, Clinton, Sea -
forth and Kincardine.
The Salvation Army in
Goderich operates a thrift
store and two Community
and Family Services offices/
Food Banks located in Goder-
ich and Clinton. These two
offices serve a wide catch-
ment area, including the com-
munity of Seaforth, and pro-
vide such services as food and
clothing assistance, emer-
gency disaster relief, camps
for children, emergency
accommodations, and assis-
tance with medical supplies
and prescriptions.
This upcoming year marks
the 130th anniversary of The
Salvation Army offering hope
and dignity to the vulnerable
in Goderich and surrounding
area.
Merry Christmas
