This Salvation Army center is part of the international Christian evangelical organization that provides direct services to people in need. The Spruce Avenue location keeps a busy schedule of women's groups, youth groups, Bible study and Sunday worship under the directorship of Lieutenant Anthony Barnes (staff of the Salvation Army have military titles). Caseworkers are also on hand to help local residents who need food, clothes or help with utility bills. This center serves a hot meal to the homeless every Saturday and has a donation drop box in front, though the staff prefers that donors take large items to one of the local Salvation Army stores.
