‘Dress-an-Angel’ Program Needs Your Help

The Quincy Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary is sponsoring its 51st annual Dress-an-Angel clothing project on March 28, 2015. This year, as in the past 50, the women will provide a new Easter outfit and a Bible for over 300 children in the Quincy area.

Each year, area churches, community groups, organizations and many individuals donate items and financial support for this program. Because the need continues to increase, The Salvation Army requests community support and donations of both new clothing and financial gifts for their program this year.

The public can assist the Women’s Auxiliary by donating newly purchased clothing (children’s sizes - infant to 16/18) or with a financial donation for the purchase of new clothing, Bibles and personal care items. Donations would be appreciated by March 13.

Clothing and donations of personal care items may be dropped off at the Kroc Center at 405 Vermont. Checks should be made out to The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary and delivered to the Kroc Center or P.O. Box 75, Quincy, IL 62306- 0075.

Those who are wishing to apply for assistance from the program may turn in an application between now and March 12, Monday through Thursday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at The Salvation Army Family Service Center at 501 Broadway in Quincy.

For more information, please contact The Salvation Army Family Services office at 217-222-2087.
