Salvation Army, in partnership with Heartland Continuum of Care, will be providing meals to those who are currently staying at the temporary shelter until they can be moved to a partner agency. The Overflow Shelter is seeking 70 PRE-BAGGED MEAL options. The shelter will be opening later in the evening then previous years, so a bagged/boxed meal option works best for staff and clients. This may include a sandwich, chips, and dessert. The shelter will be accepting of ANY donation; however, due to staffing vacancies, grab-and-go meals are ideal. Even if meals can’t be put together, the shelter will take boxes of individual snack-size bags of chips; individual fruit cups; individual bagged desserts or snacks; pre-made sandwiches, etc. - and can assemble for the evening. The Overflow Shelter is looking for 70 meals each evening. ***DROP-OFF LOCATION IS: 221 N. 11th street (DOOR on 11th STREET SIDE) *** Hot meals are preferred and can be delivered 6:30-7 p.m. We also welcome groups of volunteers to serve.
