GIVE THE GIFT OF WRAPPING THOSE GIFTS!

Hey everyone living in the Southern New London Area--The Salvation Army was offered a great opportunity to gift wrap in The Crystal Mall, (located in Waterford), over the next 3 weekends. The gift wrappings services will be offered for free to the public, but we will be allow to receive monetary donations if the customers wishes to give one. We are asking for the public's help with this

There are two ways that you can help--

First--We need help with the gifts wrapping itself. We will be setting up a gift wrap station in the mall on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The times will be Fridays from 5-9, Saturdays from 12-8, and Sundays from 1-7. If you are willing to help wrap the customers gifts during any of these times, please call Bessie Childs as soon as you can at our office, to set up the times you would be willing to volunteer. The number is (860) 443-6409.

Second--we need multiple donations of the gift wrapping materials (gift wraps, ribbons, tapes, etc) itself! All donations collected from this event, will be combined with our already ongoing Christmas Fund Raising already ongoing. If you can donate anything associated with gift wrapping, this will ensure That The Salvation Army would be given a chance to raise the fund it uses that help so many, many people throughout the Southern New London area. If you can please make donations of the necessary materials, please bring them to The Salvation Army located at 11 Governor Winthrop BLVD, (across the street from The Holiday Inn in downtown NL!)

Thank you so very--VERY much for anything--and we do mean ANYTHING that you can do to contribute to this very special project!

As always, you are invite to friend us on Facebook at
