Salvation Army Greater Valley recognizes volunteers with Ansonia Armory luncheon

Capt. Cheryl McCollum


ANSONIA - As a Salvation Army Advisory Board member I was honored to be a part of a Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon Friday at the Ansonia Armory. 

Capt. Cheryl McCollum deserves plaudits for organizing the upbeat event. It was held to recognize volunteers in the food pantry, bell ringers who stand next to the iconic red kettles to collect funds during holiday season, and many more.

McCollum presented certificates of appreciation to them as well as to community partners such as several supermarkets that regularly donate food to the pantry.

McCollum presents certificate of appreciation to Gregory Gatison, who accepted it for the James H. Wilkins Lodge of Ansonia.


Our Advisory Board has four members and McCollum emphasized she is always seeking individuals willing to serve on the board. Please consider doing so!

The Salvation Army Greater Valley Corps is located at 26 Lester St. 

For information, call 203-736-0707.
