THE SALVATION ARMY OF HANNIBAL IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE NEW PROGRAM FOR LOCAL VETERANS
The Salvation Army of Hannibal and VFW Auxiliary are proud to announce a new program for local veterans, Service for Sacrifice, a food box appreciation program. The appreciation box will contain proteins, soups, veggies, and options for a quick meal. In addition to the food, each box will contain a special treat donated by the local Girl Scout Organization and include resources specific to veterans.
Service for Sacrifice distribution will occur the second whole week of each month from 1-3pm at VFW Post 2446, located at 209 Bird Street in Hannibal. The first distribution event will occur on May 14, 15, and 16. Boxes will be available while supplies last.
“The goal of this program is to create an opportunity in our community specific to our servicemen and women,” stated Case Worker Amanda Bowen. “Hopefully, we can connect them to other veterans in our area for friendship and support.”
The Salvation Army was able to begin this program due to a generous donation received from the Hannibal Rotary Club. “We are hopeful that others will be eager to also thank our veterans with a donation of $25.00 (this is the cost of each appreciation box),” stated Donor Relations Coordinator Chad Douglas. “We ask that donors include a note of thanks, encouraging words, or prayers to the recipient with that donation.”
