The Salvation Army has sent out a note to those who have been helping with a humble but urgent request. There is now less than 2 weeks before Christmas and soon the Christmas Toy & Joy Shop will be open for families in the Rochester area.
How can you help?
1) Purchase a new toy, clothing or other gift for the store. You can drop these new items (unwrapped, please) at The Salvation Army Sharing Tree at Apache Mall or either Perkins locations, Sams's Club, both Walmart location or to the main office location at 20 First Avenue NE in Rochester. We are grateful for anything you can provide!
2) Volunteer 2 hours to help a family shop for gifts. Thursday, December 20th from 8:30am - 7:30pm and Friday, December 21st from 8:30am to 4:30pm is when families will be coming to shop for their kids. Help is needed to walk with the family member as they look for age- appropriate gifts and for the correct number of items for each child in the family. Call 507-288-3663 and ask for Jenny to sign up for just 2 hours either day.
