Fundraising

The Salvation Army in Nanaimo relies heavily on the Community Fundraising events that happen throughout the year. Our Christmas Campaigns, including Kettles, the Give and Go, and the Nanaimo Concert band and Santa Shuffle are the biggest events of our fundraising year.

All the money that is raised in Nanaimo through Events, stays in Nanaimo.

We have many outside groups holding events which benefit The Salvation Army and show the support that is generated here for our Community. Some events are the Santa Shuffle done with the Running Room, Give & Go (organized by the Nanaimo Daily News and CHEK TV), Food Drive (organized by Island Radio at Quality Foods), Food Drive (organized by Big Boys Toys) and Craftsman Collision Food Drive with Save on Foods (where Craftsman Collision matches all donations for the day).

If you have any questions about Fundraising or Donating to The Salvation Army Nanaimo, please contact our main office at: (250) 753-8834.
