As one of the largest charitable and service organizations in the world, The Salvation Army has been dispensing aid, without discrimination, to those in need since 1865.
“This is a time for us to highlight the wide array of programs and services The Salvation Army offers 365 days a year,” said Captain Cameron Henderson, Salisbury Corps Officer. “Your Salisbury Corps offers food for the hungry, clothing and shelter for the homeless, assistance with heating bills and prescription drugs, sports and other activities for underprivileged children, early childhood learning centers, mentoring programs, activities for seniors, relief for disaster victims and so much more.”

They left out the part they sent us in the mail. Tickets $6.00 per person ages 3 to adult. Good price for a decent meal, no question about it. However, the mailer also states "If you do not purchase a ticket for your infant child, please do not allow them to eat."
Not making this up, it is printed on the flyer they sent out to all of us that have kids in the SA sports programs.
