Children Head Back to School Prepared

 

 

The Salvation Army wrapped up this year’s school supply drive and distributed supplies just before school began.  Over 600 families were assisted with basic school supplies.  A special thanks to the generosity of everyone in our community who gave supplies and monetary donations.  “We had a goal of 1,400 children this year.” said Timothy Smith, Social Service Director. “But with the help of individuals and organizations we were able to far exceed that number.”  More than 1,700 children were assisted during the 2010 Tools for School campaign. 

The Salvation Army would also like to thank the many volunteers who worked so many hours.  Without them, this program would not happen.
