After 109 years, the Salvation Army is closing its West Pittston branch and merging with its Wilkes-Barre chapter.
The organizationâs building on Luzerne Avenue was demolished in March and the charity has been operating out of a temporary rented location in Pittston City.
âWe no longer have a building,â said Major Edgar George Jr., the Salvation Armyâs general secretary based in Philadelphia. âFrom a financial standpoint, it makes sense to consolidate.â
George promised the residents previously served by the Salvation Army could expect the same level of services since the combined headquarters in Wilkes-Barre is only several miles away.

WEST PITTSTON After a year of speculation, the West Pittston Salvation Army will dissolve after 109 years of service in The Garden Village, to be absorbed into the Wilkes-Barre Salvation Army Corps starting on July 1, 2021.
“The decision to change the way we provide service in West Pittston is not about a lack of leadership, nor effort,” said Lt. Col. Larry Ashcraft, Divisional Commander, The Salvation Army Pennsylvania and Delaware Division. “Our Corps officers have done a remarkable job doing the most they could with the resources available. Rather, this change is necessary due to a need to reduce operational costs.
