Topeka Salvation Army Asking for Help From the Community
Starting, Thursday, September 1, 2022, through, Tuesday, November 1st, 2022, The Topeka Salvation Army is asking for the community's help collecting items for three low-income nursing homes:
Countryside Health Center, 440 SE Winfield
Providence Nursing Home, 1112 SE Republican
Advena Nursing Home, 2015 SE 10th Ave.
Items needed include puzzles, coloring books, crayons/colored pencils, reading books, shampoo/conditioner, and body lotion. These items will be put together along with other items during the holiday season to create baskets for those individuals in the nursing homes. Often, they are the forgotten segment of the population during the Christmas season!
Items may be left at Topeka Salvation Army, 1320 SE 6th Street, at the front desk – hours of operation for The Salvation Army, 9a to 11a and 1p to 4p., you may also call, 785.233.9648 if you have any questions.
Contact: Shelley Robertson, development director, Topeka Salvation Army, 1320 SE 6th, shelley.robertson@usc.salvationarmy.org
