The need for community help runs high as The Salvation Army of Augusta continues to serve more and more local individuals and families in need.  
 
"An old Salvation Army slogan accurately stated, 'Need knows no season.' Those words still ring true today. As we face increased demand in these late summer months, the support of the community is vital in helping us continue in our mission to meet human needs," said Captain Philip Canning, Senior Kroc Officer & Area Commander.
 
With fewer residents living in Augusta during the summer months, donations have significantly dropped. August and September are typically the months when the Salvation Army faces their greatest need for donations. The Salvation Army is reaching out to its community and asking for monetary donations.
 
Needs have dramatically increased at The Salvation Army's Center of Hope Shelter, as more people look to the Salvation Army for housing, meals, rehabilitation programs, daily assistance and a variety of other needs. Just in July the shelter has fed over 730 more meals than they had in June. The men's shelter is currently at 97% capacity, as the women's shelter is working above capacity leaving many women and children sleeping on mats due to no beds being available.
