Church of the Living Word, Gloucester Point, made a major food donation to the Salvation Army of the Virginia Peninsula Gloucester Service Center on Sept. 15.
The church collected and delivered 237 non-perishable items including dry goods, boxed meals, and canned staples to the Gloucester Salvation Army.
This contribution will significantly support the Service Center’s mission to assist families in need throughout Gloucester and Mathews counties, a release stated. “It takes unity within a community during times of uncertainty,” said Stephanie Todd, Social Services Caseworker for the Service Center.
