Interviewing begins today for individuals and families in need at Christmas and for distribution of coats collected through the Coats for Kids program.
The Salvation Army provides food, toys and other gifts to individuals and families in need each year at Christmas. In addition, the Coats for Kids program provides new and gently used coats to children who otherwise might be without an adequate winter coat.
Interviews will be conducted from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. today, Saturday and Oct. 21. Additional interviews will be conducted from 1 to 7 p.m Oct. 19. All interviews will be conducted at The Salvation Army Corps Community Center gym, 626 Union Court. For more information, call 497-7053.
Additional interviewing times are scheduled in November and December. However, applications for coats must be made no later than the Oct. 21 interview times. Interviews are conducted on a first-come-first serve basis.
Applicants must have a picture ID for the head of the household, A Social Security card for every member of the household (adults and children), birth certificates or other certification of birth dates for all children, certification of current income such as pay stubs, child support, unemployment or Social Security, and 2003 tax returns. You also must be ale to provide children's clothing sizes.
Distribution of coats is scheduled for Oct. 23, while toy and food distribution will take place in December. The Salvation Army will serve as a clearinghouse for assistance offered by various groups in the Green Bay area to avoid duplication of assistance.
