HAMBURG, Pa. — The Salvation Army is celebrating a milestone in Berks County.<\/p>\n
The organization’s Hamburg family thrift store and service center celebrated it’s 10th anniversary on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The celebration included food, games and entertainment.<\/p>\n
Salvation Army officials note that sales at the thrift store benefit a wide range of crucial services to those in need — including many people may not be aware of.<\/p>\n
“We have our Camp Ladore, we have our service centers that provide all the emergency services, we have our disaster services, so there’s a whole array of services that the Salvation Army provides,” said Michael Cipilewski, director of Salvation Army service extension department.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In just the last year, the Hamburg service center has helped more than 2,000 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HAMBURG, Pa. — The Salvation Army is celebrating a milestone in Berks County.
