AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - The Salvation Army of Amarillo will host a Christmas for its shelter residents this year.
Although the shelter has made the celebration open to the community in the past, this year because of the COVID-19 protocols and social distancing restrictions, the shelter does not feel that the requirements can be met.
“COVID-19 has changed so much in our society. Everyone has to look at service delivery in a whole new way, and we are no different,” said Major Ernest Hull of the Salvation Army “While we would usually welcome guests on Christmas day to enjoy a holiday meal with our shelter residents, this year we cannot.”
