She explained how they discovered the need for childcare and decided to build this facility.
Christine shared an overview of the facility that will be added to the area that they call “Salvation Square.” This new building is a 13,270 square foot childcare center, that also allows for 36 additional slots for an after-school program. A total of 112 children will be cared for daily in this facility, named “The Salvation Army Learning Lighthouse!”


She listed the areas and facilities in this center that will be used for educational and recreational programs. There will also be renovations made to their existing social services building to better serve those in need in the community!


Christine also shared the timeline for this building project with WNZR. Construction is planned to finish in October 2025, with the childcare center to open in January 2026!
Their campaign goal is $6.25 million dollars, and about $4.9 million dollars has been pledged by generous organizations.
You can support this campaign at www.salarmy.us/LightTheDay

Christine also shared about the many ways to get involved with raising funds for the Salvation Army this Christmas Season!
Kettle Kickoff is Tuesday, November 26th at noon at the Salvation Army! You can keep an eye out for red kettles accepting donations around town, or volunteer to ring a bell.

The community Thanksgiving Dinner will be November 27th at the Salvation Army, and you can volunteer for that event as well.
