“Kids to Camp” National Program a Great Success

The Salvation Army’s National Recycling Operations “Kids to Camp” program is sending 267 kids to camp this year. On June 19, across Canada, customers of Salvation Army thrift stores were invited to donate funds that would help pay camp fees for less privileged campers. More than $58,000 was raised. Last year 4,800 children went to Army camps.

About National Recycling Operations
The Salvation Army National Recycling Operations exists to generate funds to support Salvation Army programs by efficiently and ethically recycling and selling donated clothing and other goods. Donated items are either dropped off at a collection point or picked up where pick-up service is available. Items are sorted and processed and sold in the Thrift Store and/or provided to needy persons through a volunteer system provided by the Family Services Department of the Salvation Army.
