To the parties that be, we request that the closure of the Salvation Army located at 17261 Oak Lane be delayed or STOPPED until a more suitable location can be found.

Changes proposed are to stop providing food, and only serve as an outreach program, visiting homes and families. This is NOT in the best interest of the people they routinely serve with fresh fruit, vegetables, dairy, meats and after school snacks. Many families rely on this resource and cutting them off so quickly could potentially end in individuals going hungry and more impoverished households.

The Family Resource Center claims that they need the room for therapy, however, most of the building sits empty for part of the day. We propose they utilize that space instead and put the community first by protecting their ability to have food.
