The Salvation Army has been very

busy through the month of August.

We want to share three events that

provide insight to activities.

Salvation Army of Battle Creek

Salvation Army had a

busy August

The first event was Christmas-in-

July, which included bell-ringing at

Horrocks at the end of July.

Through the efforts of our congre-

gation and the Battle Creek Rotary

Club, we were able to raise $1,

over two weekends.

The second event was a Mini-Golf

For Good event on Aug. 9, which

was a huge success, raising almost

$10,000 to help support our year-

round programs in Calhoun and

Barry counties.

Nearly 200 participants took

advantage of the sunny day, as they

navigated their golf balls through a

wagon wheel, water traps and even

an outhouse.

The event was held at Hit-Em Here

Golf Course on Columbia Avenue.

The success of the event was a tes-

tament to the unwavering dedication

and support of our board members,

sponsors, golfers and volunteers.

Their collective effort truly made a

difference.

(See our Facebook page.)

The third big event in August was

The Salvation Army’s Job Fair,

which will take place on the third

Tuesday of every month.

Nearly 80 job seekers visited with

employers in the gymnasium, who

are seeking entry level workers.

Employers including Duncan

Aviation, Michigan Works,

Securitas, Westrock, Americans

for Prosperity, and the U.S. Armed

Forces were happy with the turnout.

As noted by Pathway of Hope Case

Manager Melissa Wells, “This was

a great start. One of our applicants

was hired on the spot! We seek more

employers, and are certain that many

more people will be eager to come

out and find what’s available. We’ll

continue the job fairs every month

throughout next year.”

Finally, we do want to share that

The Salvation Army is no longer

funded by the United Way.

For more information on programs

offered or how to donate, check out

We continue our mission of being

“saved to serve.”
