Salvation Army thrift stores from coast to coast have raised more than $70,000, which will send 321 kids to camp this summer.

A week at camp can be a life-changing experience for a child, and the funds raised will ensure that kids who can’t otherwise afford camp, will be able to attend. Every summer Salvation Army camping ministries provide close to 5,000 kids nationwide a time of fun, friendship and new accomplishments in a safe environment where they can flourish and feel important.

Says John Kershaw, The Salvation Army’s Managing Director for Recycling Operations in Canada and Bermuda: “Our guests (customers), team members and friends have big hearts. Everyone wants to try to help someone. We are grateful to all of our “Send a Kid to Camp” supporters. It will make a world of difference in the lives of these kids.”
