Three days a week, policemen and women from District 1 stop by our Boys & Girls Club to visit with our members. These visits include playing basketball, checkers, and just hanging out! Our goal with this program is to increase positive police interaction. Some of our Club members have never had positive experiences with police; they only see them on the news, or hear about them from friends/family.

“The profit from this store goes right back into the community through rent assistance, emergency/disaster assistance, utility assistance, food assistance, and more. When you buy a chair for $50, you could be paying someone’s light bill,” shared Frances Perkins, Assistant Manager for the Store. “While the profit of our store does provide funding for many of The Salvation Army programs (Social Services, Boys & Girls Club, etc.), we are also able to provide furniture and clothing vouchers for individuals and families that are in need.”
