Hello! As announced yesterday, The Salvation Army has set up a temporary Overflow Shelter for the homeless living at the Springfield Library. Major Paul Logan and Shelter Director Archie Ford worked to set up the overflow shelter during the Library's book sale. Anyone homeless is invited to stay in our building, take a shower and talk to our caseworkers on how we can help them end their homelessness. The Salvation Army will be the host for the SOS (Springfield's Overlfow Shelter) this winter. Helping Hands had lost their room to provide the SOS and The Salvation Army stepped up to help this coming winter. "We know it will add some difficulties to our normal operations, but we felt those difficulties were nominal compared to someone having to try to sleep in the cold," said Major Paul Logan. *********************************************************** In other Salvation Army News - The Salvation Army Women's Ministry Group is collecting items to send to our soldiers in Iraq. Go to our website and click on "items for our soldiers" to view the list of items we are collecting. All items will be boxed up on June 26th and mailed the next day. Please spread the word to your friends and family. Bring all items to The Salvation Army, 530 N. 6th Street. Thank you for your support of The Salvation Army!
