Back to School Made Easier: Weyburn Salvation Army Supports Local Families – DiscoverWeyburn.com

The Salvation Army in Weyburn is currently accepting applications for one of their largest programs of the year.

“We’re doing our school supplies program again this year for low-income families,” explains Nicole Strickland, a Community Services Worker at the Salvation Army. “They can call us here in the office and we’ll help them get school supplies for their kids in the fall.”

Each year, the program helps about 80 children return to school in September. Although it starts slowly, it usually picks up steam around the application deadline, which is August 2.

This year, as in previous years, Bree Patterson sponsored the program.

Those interested in the program can contact the Salvation Army at (306) 842-2280.
