"It allows us to help more people through out social services, through our youth programs here at the Salvation Army, and it's just really neat to see that we're able to help more people because of this community," states Lt. Julie Trapp, Carthage Salvation Army.
So far this year, the Salvation Army has helped 3 families pay a total of 2,200 toward rent and utilities.
