Children open gifts from The Salvation Army staff

Give Joy This Holiday

Last year, more than 158,000 kids received a toy from The Salvation Army in Minnesota and North Dakota. We also helped more than 15,000 families prepare a Christmas meal last year by providing food baskets and gift certificates to local grocery stores. This year, you can make a financial gift to help buy toys, food baskets or hot meals for families in your community.  Your gift helps us to bring joy to thousands of families in their time of need.

Toy Collections

Many Salvation Army locations in Minnesota and North Dakota operate toy collections throughout the holiday season in partnership with local businesses. In the Twin Cities, you can find a Toy Shop drop off location near you. If you live in the Iron Range, you can take a toy to the Bentleyville Tour of Lights in Duluth. This year, Bentleyville set a goal to collect 3,000 toys to benefit Salvation Army locations, including Cloquet, Hibbing, Virginia and International Falls.
