GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – It’s hard to believe it’s time to starting thinking about Christmas but the Salvation Army of Brown County is doing just that.
Starting Thursday they will be conducting interviews for their Christmas Assistance programs.
Spokesperson Kathryn Kroll says you’ll need to bring a few items if you’re looking to sign up.
“We ask for a photo ID for all adults in the family. They will also need to provide proof of current address. This is only for Brown County residents. Then we require a birth certificate or something that shows the children’s ages.”
The programs they’ll be interviewing for are Coats for Kids, Toys for Tots and a Christmas food basket.
“We’ll actually sign them up for all three on the spot, at the same time, unless they say they don’t need a specific program,” says Kroll.
Interviews will take place at the west side Corps Community Center at 626 Union Court from 3-7 p.m.
This Christmas, an estimated 5,000 families in Greater Green Bay will need help providing a holiday meal for their family, warm coats, and Christmas gifts for their children.
Additional interviewing will take place at The Salvation Army’s west side Corps Community Center, located at 626 Union Court, on Tuesday, October 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Saturday, October 22 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
The last day to sign up for the Coats for Kids program is Saturday, October 22.
The final Christmas Assistance interview date will take place at The Salvation Army’s east side location, the Kroc Corps Community Center, located at 1315 Lime Kiln Road, on Thursday, December 1 from 1:00 to 7:00 p.m.
