Salvation Army provides physical, spiritual nourishment
The Salvation Army corps assembles and serves restaurant meals for the community twice a week. This effort provides about 100 meals per day in partnership with the "Love Local, Buy Suffolk" initiative. As cars drive alongside the building, volunteers from a neighboring church, The Mount Suffolk, safely hand over hot meals to hungry neighbors. One of those faithful Mount Suffolk volunteers is Jeffrey Johnson. Born and raised in Suffolk, Johnson considers himself a "people person." He was ready to serve when the call for volunteers was made by his pastor, the Rev. Karl Wilkins. "He has been serving faithfully since the start of all this," said Captain Shauntrice Williams, Suffolk corps officer. "He loves the Lord and helping people. The smile on his face shows that he loves what we are doing here in Suffolk."
