The Salvation Army Johnstown Postpones Annual Veterans’ Christmas Dinner
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (December 9, 2020) – The Salvation Army Johnstown Worship and Service Center is postponing its annual Veterans’ Christmas Dinner due to the COVID-19 pandemic out of an abundance of caution for the safety of others.
“Every year, we look forward to celebrating the season by serving dinner to our local veterans, and sadly, it is not safe for us to gather together this year due to the increase in COVID-19 cases,” said Captain Erin Smullen. “We truly look forward to providing a wonderful meal for our veterans as soon as it is safe to do so, and we want to remind the community that even while we are social-distancing, we are here for anyone who is facing emergency need.”
The Veterans’ Dinner was originally scheduled for Tuesday, December 15. It is now rescheduled for Friday, February 19.
More details will be released closer to the new date.
