Salvation Army in Ansonia provides for Valley needy

Last Friday I posted a photo of workers at the Salvation Army headquarters at 26 Lester St., Ansonia praying before a food distribution. 

My husband and I are Advisory Board members and we're working to give the community a better understanding of what the Salvation Army does for needy residents of the Valley.

Here is a collection photos from Friday morning, when 33 clients were served in 45 minutes during a well-organized distribution.

Friday is bread and pastry distribution day, but donations last week also included yogurt, cheese, milk, meat, juice, and fresh produce.
