Supporting Haiti in communities throughout BC

The Salvation Army Army and Wal-Mart in Terrace are teaming up to help the relief effort for Haiti.

The store is donating discontinued clothing valued at $10,000 to the army which will then sell it this Friday, Jan. 22 from 9:15 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the army’s thrift store.

The proceeds will then be used for relief efforts.

At the same time, the Salvation Army will serve a soup lunch that day for $2.50 a bowl, coffee for 50 cents and bottled water for $1 with all of those proceeds going to Haiti. Lunch is served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We are thrilled to partner with Wal-Mart and we hope the community will come out and take advantage of the wonderful sale for this worthy cause,” says Salvation Army Captain Rosa Moulton.

The federal government of Canada is now matching donations made to the Salvation Army for Haiti by individuals from Jan. 12 up to Feb. 12.
