Wear your toque it`s cold out there
We at the Salvation Army, we feed many families, who are unable to fully support themselves, through our Food Bank and Community Lunch programs. These programs allow for those who struggle with living costs to have their money go a little further over the month.
This year, as in past years, the funds raised will go towards those who are hungry, hurting and homeless in our area.

Vouchers for our local Salvation Army Thrift Store, with the many needs that people may have, are another way that The Salvation Army is in and for the community of Powell River. We help with clothing and household items when that need arises.
This winter Powell River has been blessed with the opening of supportive housing. Unfortunately, there are still those who need assistance. We are developing what we feel is a better way to assist those who are still challenged for proper accommodations, practical and food resources.
On Wednesday nights, volunteers will be around town with our Emergency Disaster Truck bringing good hot meals, coats, hats and gloves to the people who need it most.
By walking and collecting pledges or becoming a sponsor, through the Coldest Night of the Year you will not only feel what it is like to be in the cold, but by collecting funds it allows The Salvation Army to not only maintain these programs, but allow them and so many more to grow.
So join us on February 22, 2020 as we walk in support of those who need us most.
