Houston County proclaims National Salvation Army Week; local captains outline volunteer and donor events
Summary
Commissioners proclaimed National Salvation Army Week for Houston County. Captains Tim and Paula Blevins described volunteer appreciation events, community services and the organization’s 'soup, soap and salvation' approach.
Houston County commissioners proclaimed the coming week as National Salvation Army Week in Houston County and invited Captain Tim and Captain Paula Blevins to describe local activities and services.
A presenter read brief history noting Salvation Army founder William Booth and the organization’s international presence. Captain Paula Blevins outlined the group’s local volunteer and donor appreciation luncheon scheduled for Monday, May 12 at the Wellston Center in Warner Robins and said the week will include outreach activities to recognize volunteers and donors. “Soup, soap, and salvation” was cited as the organization’s framework: meeting physical needs (food), practical needs (cleaning and stability) and spiritual needs.
Commissioners presented a proclamation and took a group photo with the captains; no board action beyond the proclamation was required. The captains invited commissioners and members of the public to the volunteer appreciation luncheon and said they welcome inquiries and community partnerships.
