Franklin County Commissioners have declared May 13-19, 2024, as National Salvation Army Week to honor the organization’s 118-year history of service in the area. The Salvation Army in Franklin County offers year-round support, addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, especially during crises which heighten risks of homelessness, food insecurity, and other social issues.
During this week, residents are encouraged to acknowledge the Salvation Army’s significant contributions and consider engaging in volunteerism, community service, or philanthropy. The organization, heavily reliant on community donations, has experienced a $500,000 increase in service costs over the past year due to inflation and rising expenses.
