The Observation of the Salvation Army
When observing this big beautiful building, that is called the Salvation Army, that was placed in this community, I observed this building being more than just a community center, but an holistic approach to bring the community together and have observed them changed people’s lives. I have observed the different programs that they have for all ages and interests. I have observed their child care program, their assistance with helping their families in need and the Sunday Worship.
