Book bag program a rousing success

The Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary would like to thank our community for your support of the Book Bag Project.

With less than a month of planning and preparation, we received overwhelming support from many individuals, local churches and businesses. We offer special thanks to the Vicksburg Warren School District for coordination and distribution of the book bags to area students.

Other individuals and business that we would like thank are The Vicksburg Post, which publicized all of our announcements; Walmart; WBBV River 101 and Evelyn Parker; Mr. Vincent and staff of Lasting Impressions; Constable Randy Naylor; Bowmar Baptist and First Presbyterian Churches; Association of Government Accountants; West Central Mississippi Chapter of the United Way; U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Vicksburg District; and everyone in the community who contributed financially and donated supplies.

As we endeavor to serve up hope in our community, we were able to provide more than 250 book bags with supplies to students within the Vicksburg Warren School District.

Again, we thank “our” community for the continuous support that you give us!
