We don\u2019t know or fully understand the struggles these teens face. That is why we wanted to provide the students with a place to connect and let them know we are here to support them however we can, whether that is a free lunch or a listening ear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students have been able to stop by each Wednesday and Thursday during the month to enjoy snacks, drinks, and a slice of delicious pizza from Freeman\u2019s Little New York served out of The Salvation Army\u2019s mobile truck. The initiative has become increasingly popular, with over four hundred junior and senior high school students stopping by each week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has been a complete honour serving the students of our community,\u201d shared Haas. \u201cThere is no shortage of love, and the incredible turnout has led to the expansion of the project until the end of the school year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students are encouraged to keep stopping by 51 Metropolitan Avenue, Lower Sackville, on Wednesdays from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. to enjoy a lunch at The Salvation Army\u2019s Encounter Church.<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking to help or donate towards initiatives like this in your community, please contact your local ministry unit.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.salvationarmy.ca\/atlantic\/home\/locations\/\">www.salvationarmy.ca\/atlantic\/home\/locations\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignleft wp-image-9532 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/salvationarmy.ca\/atlantic\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2025\/02\/Untitled-design-7-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"2000\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In February, The Salvation Army in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia, teamed up with Youth Unlimited to bring students in the area \u2018Parking Lot Pizza.\u2019 With a goal of celebrating and feeding teens that might not otherwise have had a meal, this initiative is one of many the church has been working on as they celebrated [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8075,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"location":[],"class_list":["post-8072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general-interest"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
