The Salvation Army has closed its thrift store doors due to the concerns of COVID-19, however, the food bank will remain open.
Family Services Coordinator Amanda Courtenay tells the Mail, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way the Salvation Army will be carrying on its business. It also closed Sally’s Café for the time being. While the thrift store is closed, they will still be accepting donations.
“The only thing we are running right now is the food bank,” said Courtenay.
She adds, they are changing their appointment times, so it is important to call ahead.
The Salvation Army will continue to accept donations for the food bank at the door, which is already in need.
“But we may have an increase in demand especially as the virus hits here,” said Courtenay.
