During the summer, The Salvation Army had a daily feeding program. The people who came to eat were between 2-years-old and 90-years-old. In October, the organization also began an evening meal on Wednesday and Friday nights. The group also offers a lunch meal on those days. Between 30 to 75 individuals attend the meals with ages ranging from infants to older adults.

The tables and chairs that will be purchased will allow people to be comfortable while enjoying their meal.
