Mohawk Valley Rotary Club welcomed Captain John Wood as their guest speaker this past Tuesday. Captain Wood spoke about the Salvation Army of Herkimer and the many projects that the company works on throughout the year.
Captain Wood discussed the Salvation Army’s Choice Pantry Model. The Choice Pantry provides a means for individuals and families to come and choose items on a monthly basis.
“Families need to register, with a need photo identification, identification for everyone living in the house and proof of address,” Wood said. “During the winter months, we serve 60 families a week, and in the summer the number increases to 250 families.”
