This is why we walk...

Our inaugural "Laps for Lunches" Walk-a-thon is kicking off with an exciting goal: to raise $20,000 to provide warm meals and pantry supplies for those in need in our community. For every $5 you raise, you'll be putting a meal on a neighbor's plate. But that's just the start! Your participation will also support a wide range of vital Salvation Army social services that we provide through our day shelter, children's programs, senior services, utility and housing assistance, emergency services, and so much more...all while serving everyone with love and without discrimination.
