See how our Garden Grows...
July 21, 2009. The homeless shelter garden, otherwise known as the "Love Garden" is thriving and helping to feed those in need. Here's what was picked yesterday...a bounty of cucumbers and squash!
Join Us June 13th for the kick off of
KIDS HELPING KIDS!
Kids are invited to help The Salvation Army raise money to send local disadvantaged children to camp as well help defray the costs of our summer day camp program. Our kettles, which are traditionally seen only during the holidays are making their summertime debut to help raise money for our Kids 2 Kamp program.
