Pawtucket – On May 9th, Pawtucket welcomed guests from the Salvation Army and their supporters to City Hall for a flag raising ceremony in celebration of Salvation Army Week 2016.

Chair of the Pawtucket Corps, Lisa Dandeneau, served as the Master of Ceremonies for the flag raising. “An important part of Salvation Army Week is saying thank you for the support of our volunteers, donors and those benefitting from the services we provide,” said Dandeneau. “We are very thankful for the support of the community, which enables the Salvation Army to meet the ever-increasing needs of the community,” she said.

Last year in the Pawtucket Area, the Salvation Army provided food assistance for over 6,000 people, provided Thanksgiving and Christmas assistance (food, presents, etc.) for 1,795 people, and provided services to over 7,000 men, women and children through various social outreach programs such as rent and utility assistance.
