The Salvation Army in Fort Frances is putting out a call for help across the Rainy River district.
It's asking people to participate in a number of programs aimed at helping the area's needy.
Captain Angel Sandoval expects demand to be high.
"Last year we helped close to 750 families during the entire year," says Sandoval. "During Christmas, we had 220. We expect at least the same number this year."
Families wanting hampers this year can pick up application Thursday and Friday at Fort Frances Citadel or the Ontario Works office in Rainy River.
