Franklin County proclaims National Salvation Army Week; local corps outlines services and events
Summary
Major Chris Mok of the local Salvation Army accepted a county proclamation on May 14, described the organization's local programs and invited residents to events during National Salvation Army Week.
The Franklin County Board of Commissioners on May 14 proclaimed May 18, 2025, as National Salvation Army Week in Franklin County and received remarks from Major Chris Mok, co-director of the local Salvation Army corps.
Mok described long-running local services — emergency financial assistance for rent and utilities, meal programs, youth programs, a thrift store that funds services, and seasonal programs such as Christmas assistance — and noted the corps has served Franklin County since about 1906. He invited residents to activities during the week, including a Friday morning donuts-and-coffee event at the visitor center and an afternoon showing of "Stories of Hope," a program featuring survivors' stories.
Commissioners thanked Salvation Army staff and volunteers for local social-service work and approved the proclamation.
