Salvation Army
Have you ever wondered what happens to the loose change, checks and hard-earned dollars you’ve placed in the Salvation Army Red Kettle? How about the donations that are mailed to Salvation Army? You’re about to learn how your money is spent.
Over the years, your contributions have allowed Salvation Army in Archuleta County to assist with requests such as helping with bus rides, hot showers, emergency lodging, utility bills, clothing, rent, food, prescriptions and medical services, maybe even a sleeping bag to stay warm. Salvation Army has financially assisted local nonprofit organizations and food pantries. We’ve helped supply diapers, car seats, frozen turkeys, food boxes and back-to-school items. We simply meet needs at the point of need.
