Christmas generosity grows amid tough times says Salvation Army
Charities report stronger giving during Christmas with Lt-Col Halliwell noting a larger public donor base. The Salvation Army's centennial branch in Toronto sees donations rise ten percent to 12 million dollars while stolen toy losses at Ottawa spurred rapid local generosity.
