The Salvation Army is celebrating National Salvation Army Week this week.  May 11 through May 17 marks the week declared by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1954, recognizing the impact of the Salvation Army all across the country.

Kankakee is served by the Salvation Army. The location at N. Harrison and E. Court Street offers several groups assistance. Food services, housing assistance and ministerial assistance are part of the offerings.  Lt.

The Salvation Army is an opportunity to celebrate the generosity of its supporters, the dedication of volunteers, and the resilience of those served,” according to Corps Officer, Major Randy Summitt. “It is a reminder that together, we can make a lasting difference in the lives of our neighbors.”
