MORE PARENTS ARE approaching the Salvation Army and asking for assistance in preparing their children for the start of the new school year which begins in another three weeks.
Major Sinous Theodore, divisional commander of the Salvation Army, spoke to the issue yesterday during the army’s back-to-school drive held at its Reed Street, The City headquarters.
“This year there were more people coming out,” he said. “There was a change in the administration so we were kind of late in our planning, so many of them are not here today, but they will receive the necessary help. We usually use a registration system, but will not turn away those who come asking for help.” (RA)
