Salvation Army seeks donations of food
WARREN - The Salvation Amy, 270 Franklin St. S.E., said it is in need of food donations following a freezer breakdown over the weekend because the condenser failed.
Capt. Charles Coffelt, corps commanding officer, said the insurance company will help with the purchase of frozen food, but there is still a loss because of the deductible. The estimated loss is $2,548, including meats.
In addition, food donations in summer months typically are low, he said.
The Salvation Army serves 100 to 120 individuals a day in the hot meals program, with 120 families receiving food to take home per month.
The Army needs frozen meats, vegetables and fruit as well as money, he said. For information, call 330-392-1573.
