This holiday season, G. Douglas Vallee Limited decided to give back to the community by supporting local families and donating to the Salvation Army’s Christmas Hamper program.

The Salvation Army, which began its work in London, England, in 1865, has grown substantially since its first endeavours and continues to have positive effects within our local community. We thank all of those who are part of this organization and wish all of its members a Merry Christmas and all the best in 2023.
