“The Wayne Salvation Army unit is pleased to be working with our local Runza on a fundraising event” said Salvation Army Chair, Pastor Teresa Bartlett.
On Tuesday, July 16, between 5 and 8 p.m. Runza will donate 15% of their sales to the Wayne Salvation Army Unit. The focus of this fundraiser is to support the Wayne Salvation Army’s school supply give away event to be held on Aug. 12.
Families will be able to register their children at the July 16 event to receive grade appropriate school supplies and a backpack. Items can be picked up on the 16th between 5:00 and 7:00 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Wayne. Stop by Runza on the 16th, eat in, drive through, or carry out and help Salvation Army meet the needs of Wayne students.
The Salvation Army uses donations raised from fundraising such as the seasonal Red Kettle Campaign for community projects such as the Back-to-School project. The Salvation Army Unit also receives support from the Wayne Community Chest and other area agencies.
Volunteers are always welcome. Anyone interested in joining the Salvation Army board is asked to contact chair, Pastor Teresa Bartlett at (402) 375-2669.
