Staff Report-
The Salvation Army of Kosciusko County recently assisted 353 children from 120 families with new shoes to prepare for this school year. The “Sole Purpose” program is sponsored by the Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary, and has helped low-income families for more than 15 years with the expenses of their children going back to school. Gift certificates were given to each family to shop at K-Mart or Shoe Show in Warsaw who also support the event with discounts and sales. “We love being able to help the children get back to school in new shoes,” said Ruth Casner, women’s auxiliary president. “Through the annual nut sale and soup and pie luncheon The Salvation Army is able to fund these certificates.” The Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary meets on a regular basis to financially support and volunteer for the various activities of the Army in Kosciusko County.
