The Salvation Army’s annual Red Kettle Campaign is back in Texarkana, with holiday cheer and crucial support to the community. The goal this year is $100,000 for local assistance, food, and shelter for those experiencing homelessness and more.
As most of us start pulling out the Christmas decorations it is also a time to reflect on all of our blessings and it's also a great time to think about those in need. How would you like to help? You can by volunteering some of your time to the special programs the Salvation Army has been hard on over the past several months.
The Texarkana Homeless Coalition is going to be conducting the annual Point-In-Time homeless population count later this month, on Thursday, January 26th. Then, on January 27, TXKHC’s Bridge City Project Chili Cook-off will take place starting at 5 PM at 316 Hazel Street in Texarkana, AR, in front of the Salvation Army shelter.
As we all try to brace ourselves and make preparations of the artic blast of sub-freezing temperatures arriving in the Texarkana area this week, the Salvation Army in Texarkana is preparing too. They are working hard to help the homeless in our area to provide them with shelter and a warm, safe place to get out of the cold. This will be available day and night.
Christmas is fast approaching and The Salvation Army is preparing for the annual Red Kettle campaign, Angel Tree, and other holiday programs. The Salvation Army of Texarkana is calling on everyone to help individuals and families overcome the threat of eviction amid the holiday season.
Just a reminder that the Salvation Army Thrift Store on Walton Drive is closed due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. While they appreciate the donations they are receiving, please do not bring any items to the store when it's raining and leave them outside because they are being ruined in the rain and are unusable.
