Salvation Army Christmas Center to be at SRL

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Snake River Landing and The Salvation Army are pleased to announce that The Salvation Army Christmas Center will once again be located at Snake River Landing. Volunteers and The Salvation Army staff will use the space to prepare Christmas baskets for those community members facing difficult times in the upcoming holiday season.

The Salvation Army located their Christmas Center in 2007 at Snake River Landing after their former space put their staff, volunteers and clients in danger. “Last year, we had a natural gas leak occur in our Christmas Center space on our distribution day. This put hundreds of staff, volunteers and clients at risk. We contacted Snake River Landing and they generously offered to provide us immediately with a safe environment. We were so grateful to be given this premium space filled with ”luxuries” that hadn’t been available in the past - heat, lights, rest rooms and more,” said Lisa Wilkins,a representative from The Salvation Army.

“In the last year we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of clients needing assistance and in the number of new clients asking for help. We expect this trend to continue into the Christmas season. We are preparing to distribute Christmas Baskets to approximately 500 families this year.

Without the good works of Snake River Landing, we would not be able to complete such a task. By allowing us to use their beautiful building for our Christmas Programs, they are making a tremendous difference in the lives of families in our community,” continued Wilkins.

The continued donation of space to The Salvation Army was an easy decision for Snake River Landing. “We believe that the good works of The Salvation Army significantly impact many families in our community and are humbled to be in a position to assist them this holiday season. The local staff and volunteers have a passion for serving the community and we are excited to be a part of the great things that they are accomplishing,” said Eric Isom, Chief Development Officer ofSnake River Landing.

Snake River Landing Seeking “Coats For Kids”

Friday, September 19th, 2008

With the cold winter nearing, Snake River Landing is partnering with Pacific Empire Radio, Head Start, Eastern Idaho Community Action Partnership (EICAP) and several other local businesses to provide over 300 local children with cold-season coats.

Snake River Landing is asking the community to bring gently used or new coats (toddler to teen sizes) to the Snake River Landing Discovery Center, located at 901 Pier View Drive, to be donated to families in need. Each person who donates will also receive a $10 gift certificate to Perkins and the opportunity to win a one hour massage at Massage Envy.

Help make this winter warm for a local child by donating a gently used or new coat! Questions? Please call 208-557-5300.
