Body

  Summary:

The Salvation Army has operated programs to benefit families in El Paso County since 1887.  Our Family Hope Center, emergency family shelter, is an outstanding program that helps families escape homelessness and find safe, stable housing.  Currently this valuable public safety program is in a financial crisis.  I would like to request a meeting at your earliest convenience to describe the situation and discuss possible solutions to this funding need.  Our team of caring professionals is committed to continuing this vital program.  Thank you in advance for letting us know when you are available to meet with us.
