ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) - The Salvation Army of Albany said its food stores are nearing a desperately low level and need donations now.
The organization is very low on the amount of food it has for both its meal and food donation services.
The Salvation Army feeds hot meals six days a week to anyone, currently serving between 80 to 115 meals a day. It also distributes food assistance to people in need.
Salvation Army officials said they are seeing a “tremendous increase in need for emergency services, specifically food.” They also said they’re seeing a decrease in donations. So, they are asking residents to step up and help the people in their community.
