    Major Brian Wheeler says so far, 582 families have registered for Christmas assistance and 300 have registered for toys.

    The Salvation Army Corner Brook Community and Family Services has added today as another chance to register for a Christmas hamper and toys. People in need can drop by the temple on O’Connell Drive between 10 a.m. and noon, and this afternoon from 1-3:30. Major Brian Wheeler says people just need to bring an id, proof of income and residence, as well as the number of people in the household. He says so far, 582 families have registered for Christmas assistance and 300 have registered for toys. Meanwhile,  At this weekend’s hockey game, the Corner Brook Royals will host a teddy bear toss. Major Pam Goodyear says the Salvation Army depends on donations and recognition from corporate sponsors. The Salvation Army Kettle Campaign has set a goal of raising $1.2 million this year from 50 communities throughout NL.
