The Salvation Army is still accepting applications for their Christmas Hampers.

The “Christmas in a basket” is given to families in the community, who otherwise might not be able to afford a festive meal or gifts.

Director of the Salvation Army Roy Bladen says it’s the last week to register for one:

"If they’ve been here before all they need to do is bring their ID cause we'll have them on file. If they haven’t been here before they need to pick up an application, they can fill it out on site with income and expenses".

Interviews to receive a hamper are being done today and next Monday from 10am-noon.

Bladen says 68 families have signed up for one so far. The hampers will be distributed December 16th.
