SEVIERVILLE The Salvation Army is known for its social service outreach and the Sevierville Corps now has new leadership to build upon what it already has done. Lt. Melissa Melching is the newly appointed commanding officer as of June 14. âI just want to be able to give my best âyesâ and be intentional, showing up and creating a place that feels like home and people feel included, loved and safe,â Melching said.

Jeffery Russell with The Salvation Army of Racine. âIn a year of unprecedented need, we expected a possible 50% decrease in fundraising at the red kettle.
