Christmas Present Appeal

Please support our Christmas Present Appeal by donating new, unwrapped toys and gifts for children who might not otherwise receive a Christmas present. 

We also require warm items to give to homeless people eg hats. gloves. scarves, socks. warm tights 

gifts of Christmas non perishable food items eg biscuits, sweets, savoury crackers. no alcohol 

You can drop off your donations at The Salvation Army Church and Community Centre., Woodbridge Road GU1 4QQ on Monday to Wednesday 9am-12pm or The Salvation Army Donation+ Centre, 19 Woodbridge Road Guildford
GU1 1DY on Monday to Saturday 9am-5pm

The gifts will then be sorted and distributed to families in the area. 

we have a Christmas just giving page for financial donations which will go towards supporting families with food and other much needed items.
