The Salvation Army is offering clothing vouchers as part of a welcome package for refugees arriving in Canada.
The vouchers can be redeemed at Salvation Army Thrift Stores – including the location in Surrey.
The organization has created a customized clothing vouchers that includes instructions in both English and Arabic.
“The Salvation Army provides assistance to over 1.8 million vulnerable people in Canada each year, including refugees and other newcomers to Canada, so we are already mobilized to help those individuals and families from Syria who may require additional support,” says Commissioner Susan McMillan, territorial vommander for The Salvation Army in Canada and Bermuda.
As Syrian refugees arrive as permanent residents and settle across the country, The Salvation Army anticipates it will provide additional practical assistance in a variety of ways, depending on the needs and capacities of the communities welcoming them.
Those wishing to donate clothing are encouraged to contact the Salvation Army Thrift Store, 7155 138 St., for drop-off information: 778-590-0177 or visit SalvationArmy.ca
