THE SALVATION ARMY OF THE MIDLANDS TO CONTINUE PROVIDING EMERGENCY HUMAN NEEDS SERVICES AT NEW LOCATION
Columbia, S.C., January 6, 2010—The Salvation Army of the Midlands transacted a sale of the 2025 Main Street property in Columbia to the Midlands Housing Alliance today. The Salvation Army wants to let the community know that with this transaction, the Army and its services to people will not cease. Emergency Human Needs Services will continue at the Main Street property until the 29th of January.
The Army announces today that continued operations will be located in a short term leased facility at 3024 Farrow Road. This is to become the Army’s command center for all Salvation Army operations in the Midlands. It is projected that the doors of the new facility will open on February 1.
Major Jones, Area Coordinator for Salvation Army services in the Midlands, is anxious for this community to know that the Army is not going out of business.
“It is full steam ahead for the Army,” he said. “And we pledge ourselves to be available to assist people in need.”
The Major further stated deep heartfelt appreciations to the citizens in the area who for 109 years have made the work and ministry of The Salvation Army possible.
