Salvation Army Macon gets computer lab, vans, and shelter upgrades
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) — The Salvation Army of Macon has added new resources including a computer lab, vans, and upgrades to its shelters thanks to donations from the Peyton Anderson Foundation and Navicent Health.
The contributions funded a lab with 11 desks and 10 laptops, a 12-passenger van for the veterans program, and a minivan for residents of the Center of Hope shelter. Central Georgia integration coordinator Paula Blevins says these gifts provide more opportunities to help.
“These vehicles helps carry our clients to appointments they have in the community,” she said. “The playground of course is for our families and family shelter. Basketball goals, courts, which helps the guys get a little more exercise. And of course just upgrading indoors in the shelters themselves.”
