This years Registration period will start on Monday, October 18th, opening a one month window to get on the distribution list, with the final day to register set for November 19th.
Those that are looking to access the program this year will need to have some ID handy for each member of your household, as well as a list of expenses and income for when you call in.
Once registered, those requesting hampers will be assigned a pick up date upon completion of the registration process.
Towards the Hamper program, if you have a toy wish list for reach child, you are asked to share it at the time of registration so the Salvation Army and the program workers can try to ensure that at least one thing that has been asked for makes it into the package.
The phone number to register starting Monday is 250-624-6180 Extension 2

In Mid September, the local Harley Riders took to the streets of Prince Rupert to help raised funds and collect toys for the Christmas program. Since the rides began forty years ago, local residents have raised over 700,000 dollars for the Salvation Army and other initiatives through the annual ride.
The Salvation Army's Food Bank program also benefited from the efforts of volunteers on this years Food Drive, which saw over 4,200 pounds of goods collected during the late September collection.
